Man we stink!

Well, the Replogle household has been anything but boring the last few days. Our new "adventure" happened last night. When we went to sleep last night Greg remembered that he forgot to put Samson out to do his business. The next thing I know Greg is standing over me saying, "Nat, wake up. Do I stink?" Now that I have your attention let me rewind and tell you what happened. Greg put Samson out and wasn't dressed for public:), so he had to put him out with the lights off. When he went to get him he felt something wet all over this arms, so he brought Samson in and turned on the lights. Sam was foaming at the mouth and stunk horribly. He was sprayed by a skunk. So that's when Greg came up to the bedroom to get me for help (of course this all happened at midnight, not like after dinner when we would have time to do something about it.) So when I tell you that our house stunk, it stunk! When I came downstairs to help I almost threw up. I've never smelled anything so foul in my entire life. Plus, which made it worse is that it was all over Greg, so everywhere he went...so did the smell. Not realizing it until it was too late, Greg was in every room in the house. Poor guy, things just were not going well. Plus on top of the great night we were having, Jett is teething. So he was up almost every hour. The upstairs smell wasn't as strong, but there was a definite hint of unpleasantness. It was fine when sleeping, we had a fan attempting to blow out the smell, but everytime I got up for Jett, the smell was there and the desire to up-chuck was not far behind. So this morning we had every window and door open, all the candles burning and we are officially out of frebreeze now, but as soon as Jett woke up we were out of the house and off to Grandma's. I felt like my skin had soaked up the smell. Even after a shower and new clothes, it was still there. Of course I had to take Jett to the hospital for an check-up x-ray...talk about feeling uncomfortable. I was so nervous to stand or sit next to someone in fear that they would think I had horrible BO. Boy can I drag out a story. Anyway, so that is where our story leaves you, Greg is coming home soon to work on our little problem. He was on the internet all this morning finding ways to get rid of the smell. So if any of you ever have this problem, I'm sure after today, we will have lots of suggestions:)

Poor Sam!! What was with the foaming mouth? Is that what happens to dog when they've been sprayed?
