Tis the season for the skunks to be out looking for a mate, as you can tell by the road kill. Your reporter had dog Jack sprayed Saturday night. Again I will report the recipe for de-skunking. Scrub with mixture of 1-quart hydrogen peroxide, 1/3-cup baking soda and 1 Tablespoon of liquid soap. Leave on for a minute or two and then wash off. This should be done within 4 hours of being sprayed. Works pretty good!
