Dog Names Woof

Murphy Rolled in Something! – August 24th, 2006

Do you notice how she is studiously ignoring me?

She knows she rolled in something dead and putrid and she is secretly very satisfied about it.

Ho man, she came happily trotting into the kitchen last night looking incredibly contented and the smell just about knocked me off my feet! Wow.

I quickly hustled her back out, and with my trusty flash light, I took a look around to see what she could possibly have rolled in. I never did find it, so I have no idea what she got into.

At that late hour I couldn’t bathe her, so I sprayed some flea tick stuff on that I never use, but has a perfume-like smell. I just wanted to mask the stench enough to get through the night.

And then, can you believe she was perverse enough to keep trying to rub up and get close to me!!! That rat!!!!

I bathed her today, but she still has an underlying odor that I can’t seem to get out.

If any of you have any suggestions how to get icky dead animal smell out of her coat, please drop me a comment! I would really appreciate it.

Murphy won’t but she’ll just have to live with it!

Thanks!

   Hi, Hilary –

   After our TWO DOGS were sprayed by a skunk, we went through a pretty bad patch. One, sprayed in the mouth, burped skunk oil for weeks! We found that, for their coats, a product called “Nature’s Miracle” was the biggest help. But you have to keep using it, so buy a big bottle. We also learned that self-wash dog businesses do NOT want you in their tubs until the smell has pretty well disappeared. We just about drove everyone out of the one we always patronize. We had little help from chlorophyll tablets or liquid for the really bad breath they both had.
   Probably what Murphy rolled in was not as bad or long lasting, so I think the product might help you more than it did us. Good luck when and if she does it again!

   Sally

   I grew up in the country and the
   standard “treatment” for skunk
   spray on a dog was to douse him
   in tomato juice. It is supposed
   to absorb most of the odor. Then
   wash him as usual to get the tomato
   juice out. I don’t know if it helps with other stinky problems.
