A CAT'S DIARY
Day 183 of my captivity.
My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal.
The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild
satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house
plant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while
they were walking almost succeeded. Maybe I should try this at the top
of the stairs.
In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once
again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. I must try
this on their bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt
to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into
their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little
kitty cat I was. This is not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in
solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the
noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my
confinement was due to my powers of inducing something called
"allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The
dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is
obviously a half-wit.
The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He speaks
with them regularly, and I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his
current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait.
It's only a matter of time.

This was cute, and probably what they think of everyday. What is funny is the morning I had, which makes it all the more reason to respond.
6:30 Usual morning, kids getting ready for school, dog and cat get fed, let the dog out to do her business. As I went to the back door to let Cadey (our lab) back in , I smelled SKUNK!!
You guessed it, right in her face and the whole house reaked! Off to walmart for tomato sauce(soup) before I left I told the kids "Don't touch her ,she is shut in the spare room. I will be back soon to bathe her, just go to school.
The bath didnt work out that well, my bathroom was covered in tomato sauce after she jumped out of the tub and shook. I couldn't take the smell anymore, it was finally daylight, so I left Cadey back outside until I set up her crate in the yard.She is an inside dog.
8:30 School calls daughter needs a change of clothes, she smells. My son calls 2 minutes later he wants to go home, he smells.
Before I walked into the school, I sniffed her clean new set of clothes and they stunk too! The principle urged me to take them both home. He told me that once my daughter went into the office it lingered there. (poor kids) He told me it took about 6 weeks for the smell to be gone from his house, when his dog got skunked.
Nobody ever told me the smell gets into the clothes and carpeting. Too late now.
Smelly Kim and family

Alternative solution
If the dog smells like skunk don't let it in the house.
ROFLMAO
(But it's a sympathetic laugh... we live in skunk territory with a German Shepheard that catches one now and then).

Re: Gary I couldn't help myself when you mentioned German
Shepherd, we have a handsome 7 month old male, he is currently at about 80 pounds....he is a handful hubby calls daily once he knows I'm home, he asks "how's my dog".... he loves this pooch......When I grew up we always had a German Shepherd, my dad's favorite breed I seldom paid little attention to them other then to play with them, they are such an oustanding breed......Extremely intelligent.

Re: Kim - it also works on ...
anything you can put peroxide on. Don't forget to dip the dog's collar in it, too! (referring to the peroxide/baking soda/dishsoap recipe - I've used it 4 times, it's a miracle.)

Re: Kim - it also works on ...
Thanks everyone for the tips and Gary for the lighthearted laugh. My husbands name is Gary, he too is a bit of a smarta$$. I know I made the mistake of letting her in the house. Live and learn.
Update: House and dog still smell (not as bad). The kids went back to school, high school kids can be so unforgiving. But in this case everything went fine.
What a busy board, I doubt anyone will even read this post. But I did want to let you know I appreciate all of the comments.
