It wasn't a complete skunking but Riley smelled bad. Now that he's been shampooed, only his nose smells. G went behind the shed and found two holes going under the shed. An entrance and exit. And it smells nice and skunky. So that will be something we need to take care of before we let Riley out into the back yard. Again.
No amount of good groundskeeping goes unpunished. We clear the trees from around the shed and find a skunk. Or skunks. G lived his whole life in the country and says each of his dogs got skunked at least once. Hopefully, Riley will learn a lesson. He's really "miss-ish" about a lot of things and I hope the shed is now one of those "I don't go there" items on his list of things to stay away from. We can hope.
Now, the fun of finding a way to get rid of the skunk or skunks. We decided we do NOT want to live trap the little stinker. Definitely don't want to do that.
I have to change clothes. Feeling stinky.
Good luck! I'll be waiting to see how you fair. We don't get too many skunks any more now that our neighbor doesn't board horses and keep hay in the barn. The hay is where the skunks loved to nest.
