Quite the Adventurous Walk, This Morning

I had to create this sign, once I arrived back home .....

We have a fence next to the street and many walkers and neighbors pet our dog, Maggie, each day.

She is quite popular.

She receives presents at Christmastime.

I've received mail for her, more than once - like this cute card where she apparently posed for the camera....

And I've been referred to as "Maggie's Mom" many times.


The skunk hit her square in the face.   She was not on her leash -  I like to walk on a dirt road in the country where there are no cars - and she ran up ahead of me when she saw the skunk.  She tussled with him playfully for a minute - and then she staggered away, bleary eyed and dumbfounded.  Thankfully, I was only about a mile from home.

I am ready for the kids to get home from school so that they can tell me if I smell like a skunk.  

Any "skunk remedies?"  I gave her a bath in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide/baking soda/liquid dish detergent.   I took a bath with vinegar.   


Sure hope it works!
