The worst story I have heard about is the small dog that had a cat door he used while the couple were at work in the days.
Is that a challenge?
My grand-dad shot a skunk with a shotgun in the basement. In the earthen basement under the house. Had to dig the dirt out because the smell...
I also used vanilla extract as a final rinse and that took the remaining smell out. The Sherriff gave me that one.
Yummy. Throw in some pie spice and dry that puppy in a warm oven, about 350 degrees.
We have house dogs, and a baby skunk kept getting them until they finally got it... We used this recipe:
1 qt. hydrogen peroxide
1/2 cup baking soda
2 tsp dish washing detergent
It works pretty well.
