Skunk vs. Dog

By Leave a Comment


Due to the drought in various parts of the country
Animal Control Services are advising pet owners to
not leave out any food or water because nuisance animals
(such as skunks) are looking for water and food.

So what happens when your dog decides to get
up close and personal with a skunk???

I have a 12 pound Maltese so a tomato bath was out of the question.
My neighbor gave me this, skunk remedy and
I have had the pleasure to
confirm that it works on 3 different occasions.
Keep in mind it does not 100% get rid of the smell, but
it does make it bearable.

Skunk Remedy for Dog
1 Quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Liquid Dish Soap or Shampoo
(I use Dawn)

**Be sure to not get this in the dogs eyes**
Mix the above, wet down dog, work the solution
thoroughly into dog’s coat and leave on for 3-4
minutes.  Then rinse out.

You can double or triple the above recipe depending on
the size of the dog.  I have also repeated if after rinsing if
there was any trace smell.  Keep in mind using this recipe
is so much cheaper then buying the “skunk remover” products
at the pet stores.

Good Luck!

FOOD Prices will be Soaring after Harvest

FOOD Prices will be Soaring after Harvest

Do you coupon? If not, there is no better time than NOW to start! We are going to see the price of food sky rocket in the next few months!

The hot temperatures we have been experiencing in the Midwest, along with the lack of rain, has made this one of the worst growing seasons in centuries. In NINE states in the Midwest, over half of the cornfields have been deemed poor or very poor by the Federal Authorities. In fields where corn is growing, it often is growing without any ears, or even a tassel, just a tall stalk, though in the majority of the fields it is not growing at all.

How will this affect you? We as a Nation depend on corn for everything; from fuel, to our foods, which include bread, baked goods, chips, etc. To recoup their loss (Not all farmers are insured) they will have to raise the price of their corn that does make it, and in turn, companies will be forced to raise the price of their products, which will show in our pocket books.

It is not just corn that is going to be affected either; grains, vegetables, you name it. Even our Meat prices are going to rise because our animals eat the grains that are grown, or in this case, NOT GROWING. And let’s not forget about our Butter and Milk; Yup, those prices are going to rise also.

There is  NO BETTER time than now to learn to live frugal and start stocking those pantries!
