At 2am this morning I was awoken by Scooter, one of the dogs I am dogsitting. He woke me up by nudging my right hand with his nose. A nose covered in foamy slobber that got all over my hand and the side of the bed. When I woke up I immediately smelled a very strong rubber/chemical smell that seemed a little rotten. I could not figure out what it was or where it was coming from, as it was so overwhelming, and I finally realized it was coming from Scooter himself. On top of this Scooter seemed to be choking or gagging... So needless to say I was a little frightened about what might be wrong with him.
I got up and grabbed a washcloth and cleaned all the foamy slobber off of Scooter's mouth and grabbed my computer to look up what might cause a foamy slobber on a dogs mouth that smells like burning rubber. And there it was... "How to remove the smell when a dog gets sprayed by a skunk."
There it was. The dog had sprayed by a skunk and then spread it all over me and the edge of the bed because he woke me up in fear. I had then proceeded to spread this terrible skunk smell onto a washcloth, my computer bag and my computer. Not to mention that Scooter probably got it in a lot more places because believe me, that slobber was dripping everywhere...
I had to be up at 3am to get to work so after figuring all this out it was time to get up and get going. So I put Scooter outside and got as much cleaned up as possible but no all I can smell is skunk and I have the joy of getting Scooter cleaned up when I get home. To make things worse: everything I have read (since getting to work) says to get the smell out right away cause if you wait then it gets harder to remove... So I have that going for me :(
