This post is being written as the drama unfolds.
I'm sitting inside. My husband just ran outside to see what the dog is wildly barking about. As he ran outside, I smelt the strong smell of SKUNK. Rather than run back inside, my husband skittered back inside, grabbed a flashlight, yelled "SKUNK" (ya think?) and ran back out.
About 5 minutes ago, I heard the dog and my husband both yelp, and now I hear the hose running.
I'm thinking my husband will be sleeping outside tonight.
It's probably too late, but a bath in tomato juice will neutralize the skunk smell.
Good luck!
