Got Caught in a Pretty Stinky Situation

Saturday night started out as just a normal night, then instantly turned bad. My boyfriend and I took our dog out for our nightly walks. We go to an open field and let him off the leash to run around before we go back inside. Out of nowhere I saw something out of the corner of my eye. By the time I turned around to grab Ruger (my dog) he had already taken off running after it with my boyfriend shortly behind. IT WAS A SKUNK! He quickly sprayed Ruger in the face, and I instantly filled the air. We spent the rest of the night running around trying to find and make something to take the smell out of my dog. He had 3 baths that night and 2 more the next day. Needless to say 3 days later he still stinks and my apartment still smells like skunk.

    Oh no. It crazy to think something like a skunk could make a night turn from good to bad. Hopefully your dog won't smell like skunk for much longer.

    Oh gross! That is horrible. Did you find anything that is supposed to work? I wonder if vinegar and baking soda could help tame the smell. Your description made the smell float in my space. Poor you and Ruger.

Scaredy Cat (Dog)

I have a brown and white two year old pit bull. He is the sweetest and cuddly dog ever, but he is afraid of everything. Last night our fire alarm went off in our apartment. Let me tell you, my "big, bad dog" hid like a little baby shivering under the covers on my bed. He got as close to me as he could without physically sitting on me. Although the fire alarm freaked me out, he made me laugh so hard. He is such a baby, but it was the cutest thing.

The start to Halloween

I am a nanny to a 4 year old and 2 twin 15 month olds. Today we started hanging up Halloween decorations. Yes, I know it is a little early for that, but Clair (the 4 year old) loves Halloween and was begging me to start putting them up. This first thing I pulled out of the box was this Frankenstein doll. Clair went crazy with excitement, so I let her have it. While the twins and I were still going through the box of decorations out of nowhere I hear the Nay Nay song. The one that goes, "watch me whip, now watch me nay nay." It is the doll that I had just given to Clair. (Now I know why she was so excited for it!) Immediately one of the twins runs over to the Frankenstein doll and starts dancing with it. She was jumping up and down, shaking her butt, sticking her leg up in the air. Eventually we all joined in, but seeing her do dances I've never seen her do before was priceless.

Tough Times

Over the weekend my dog, Ruger got really sick. He is two years old. His whole life he has always been a little off. He sleeps all the time and never has energy like a puppy should. He always gets sick. As frequent as every other week. We keep him on a strict diet, but it hasn't seemed to help. Friday morning I took him back to the vet, which is a very familiar place for him. In the past the vet was never able to find anything wrong with him, but this time was different. We discovered he has kidney failure. The thing that sucks the most is that there is nothing you can do if a dog has kidney failure. He is just going to have to deal with it. It breaks my heart.
