The skunks are coming out looking for mates and some are ending up as road kill. The recipe for de-skunking your dog is one quart of hydrogen peroxide, 1/3-cup baking soda and 1 tablespoon of liquid soap. With a cloth, wash it into the fur and leave for a few minutes then wash off. This needs to be done within four hours of skunking. I keep the ingredients on hand always!

Thanks to Chris Peterson and his crew for removing the dead and dying trees by the clubhouse. On one, even the mistletoe had died. They were becoming a danger to property and people. It was done in less than 3 hours and Chris had a lot of help.
