One kilo of baking soda later ...

Hullo!

I don't know whether you know this already, but baking soda does work.  Just ... it's got a certain smell of its own.  I can't quite describe the whiff of baking soda ... it's not exactly pleasant on its own.  But it's by far, a better alternative than the present pong the Dexter and Wally been emanating.

I had them sit through a couple sessions of baking soda.  First a light dusting.  Then, I had a paste made which I marinade them in and let them stew for a bit - (the Furboys were not the least bit amused).  Last step was to hose them over.  By then, they were really upset. Three marathon showers in three days!  Too much!

Determine to defeat the stink, I cornered the shivering pups with tea tree spray. And fumigate with glee! I like the smell.  I know for a fact,  my four legged charges may beg to differ on that ...

Satisfied with my work, it was my turn for a shower - minus the baking soda!  :)

Reeking to high heaven!

Dexter -crossly giving me the 'bum'. Wally looking (into camera) somewhat sheepish.

... that's the present challenge for this Dog Woods human slave.  The wander pups - Wally and Dexter were up to no good again. Just to keep you up to date, having these pups 'snipped' have only merely dampened their spirit of adventure.  They don't quite make an escape so much these days but when they do, they'll be gone for hours ...

Only God knows what they got up to yesterday ... but they came home reeking to high heaven.  It's a pong beyond description.  We don't have skunks in our neck of the woods ... but these Fur-boys, OMG!  It's the sort of stink that makes you want to instantly gag.


I had to hold my breathe while scrubbing these Fur-boys down.  Used all manner of soaps, disinfectant ... mind you, i had them scrubbed down at least thrice but to no avail!  Maybe I should resort to tomato juice ... at the rate they seem to still stink ...
