They just seem to go together. And I agree - labs and skunks must have a special affinity for one another. (Zeus Dog is a black lab)

After the peroxide, baking soda, and Dawn detergent mix treatment, I rub Zeus down with an essential oil blend called Purification. Goes a long way to rid the dog and house of the residual skunk aroma.

Skunks are kind of cute, though. Especially baby skunks.
