What'll spray a dog besides a skunk?
Dog took off across patio before her leash was fastened and something sprayed her - kind of oily and burns my eyes. Got her out of the tub and she seems fine. Wants my hershey bar and ice cream. What kind of animal does that - have seen possoms, raccoons and skunks around...no bites...she's a beagle...

4. Many minks and weasels etc. have the ability shoot musk
Not as bad as skunks, but they can do it. Probably something like that.

5. I'm guessing a mink.
They can pack quite an odorous punch.

9. Was checking to see if she was alright....
She was, and no more chocolate...dog biscuits would not have brought a strong response and that's what I was going for...

12. I know you mean well, but I should emphasize. No more chocolate.
Chocolate is toxic to dogs, and can kill.

15. That'd be the way I'd like to go - after eating a big chocolate candy bar
with chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge syrup...beats getting hit by a bus....

16. Didn't really smell bad enough....
Do they have an ultra-lite scent, like all the detergents are now manufacturing?

17. Wasn't a cat
Experience with litter boxes tells me it wasn't. Come to think of it, I think cat pee would have been worse...:)

thanks..

22. Douche works better.
Really...we always keep a pack of Massengill's around for that purpose.

It is much cleaner than tomato juice and actually does smell better.:)
