Tanner got sprayed by a skunk. It was the worst smell I have ever experienced. It was still on my hands at work today. Simply awful.
Poor guy was absolutely traumatized. He shot through the doggy door like a rocket. He won't go into the back yard still. My poor Nanners.
FWIW, Baking soda, H₂0₂, and dish soap. Works better than anything else I tried to rid your dog/house/person of the stench and oils that the vile creature doth expel.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I've been incredibly lucky. Only ever encountered two rattlesnakes when hiking with dogs, but never a skunk. Looks like that skunk messed with the human most likely to be able to deal with it.

Someone I know had a dog that got involved with porcupines - thrice. Ugh.

I've been using pomegranate molasses with soy lately. Not bad.
Have you tried sweet soy sauce?
ABC Kecap Manis is what I use. Mixed with sweet chilli it's yum.
Another thing I've been doing is having stir fry with rice or noodles, put some stir fry aside for next day and eat cold with cous cous. :-)
I've not seen kecap of any type. Not seen any Indonesian foods out here. We have Japanese and Vietnamese markets. I need to look that stuff up.
As for me, I'm just FBing. I guess I need to look up the pointyball result. Lots of family from Cleveland; they love the Bucks.
