Addendum

More young life on the farm discovered this morning.

Imagine my surprise when I headed out toward the barn's side door to pick some grass for the caged birds, and suddenly smelled something -- well, yucky smelling! I had passed into this narrow walkway in the barn without having a look at the hav-a-heart cages lining the passage. They have been empty for weeks, maybe months.

But not this morning! A young skunk was startled by my approach and did what it knows best to do to discourage any animal who threatens -- accidentally or intentionally -- its well-being. Sprayed!

Yuck! Pee-eww!

It's more of a musky smell like the weasel family makes, and it got me on my left knee. Pants quickly into the wash with a good dollop of Nature's Miracle added to the detergent, knee scrubbed and clean pants donned.

What is amazing is that RNB can't smell this new perfume I'm sporting despite the change of clothes and washing. It is unusual for me to envy him his loss of olfactory senses, but today I do!

Oh no, skunked! Good luck getting rid of the smell, hope you have better luck than my dog did, it took us about 2 months and lots of baths to de-skunk her.

hahah! Ranchman John has simply no smell at all...well only if I'm cooking dinner. That man can smell me cooking from acres away. He never misses a meal. haha!

Natures Miracle is a miracle! I need to get me some more because our male cat got upset with the strays outside and sprayed in our house. He's neutered, but it doesn't take much to upset him and make him mark his territory.
And cat pee is rank!
Nature's Miracle is the only things that works. :)
