Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My dog got spayed by a skunk like an hour or so ago.

I looked up recipes for cleaning skunk smell...first one that came up was 1qt peroxide to 1/4c baking soda and a tsp or two of soap.

I made up this solution to clean him....and figured I could just soak his collar in the same stuff because it stank like skunk too.

This is the result. I imagine maybe some natural wild yeast absorbed into the collar?

He's dumb as a sack of bricks and he likes bad smells anyway.

He was more bothered by having to take a bath. This skunk was probably out snooping for an egg since a couple of my hens like to lay them in weird places.

I smelled skunk outside and called for him to run in but he just kept on looking at me like "dad, do I have to come in, I just made a new friend!"
