I know....nothing ever quite that bad here but they roll on dead skunks or dead anything and they come in the house with maggots then the mad scramble to get them out and hose them down and soap them up etc.....you know very well. One of them dragged home a whole deer haunch that they found somewhere in the woods, we have lots of wooded area since my animal keeping days are closing and I wanted more woods than pasture as I got older. Lovely, sweet Lab who I thought just might chew me up as I tried to take it away. He gave in but those resentful looks just about made me cry (after I laughed). BUT THE SEPTIC TANK! OMG that must have been horrid! How long did it take to get that beautiful white coat back? Ewwwwwww.
