I was wrong last time. Skunk Stinks.

When TonTon got dealt to by a skunk last time…

That smell was nothing to the hideously mind bending stink he tried to bring into the house last night after tangling with the skunk again. 

An absolutely gut wrenching smell.  It has sucked the air right out of the house. I am afraid to go outside and meet it full on. 

I went to bed last night thinking how I would tell about how I made another big jar of Tomato Sauce as thick as puree, and a container of ice cream  scented with vanilla pods and a beautiful squeaky fresh cheese. We bottled the last of the wine and pear cider. 

But TonTon is lying outside the doors wondering why he had to spend the night outside and I know that I am going to have to use all three of the potions you suggested last time..

.. to try and get this awful pong out of his coat but the whole house smells like skunk. This is very bad.  I was wrong last time. That was nothing compared to this.  The smell has invaded every corner. It makes me feel sick.

I will  have to try and clean him at least once before I go and do the milking.  He loves to watch the milking. But the smell of him Through the closed door is already making me gag. Imagine that in the barn!  We pick up 100 bales of straw today too. It will be busy and hot.   Wish me luck.

I have my rubber gloves ready, I am going in.

Have a stink free day.
