How do you folks do all that fun stuff with a cache listing.....like changing backgrounds, radio buttons for voting on things....stuff like that......Just wondering.

 

Never pet a burning dog......and never ever play leapfrog with a Unicorn.

You can also reverse engineer it by just viewing the source of the page.

 

Enjoy,

I once used a dry-powder fire extinguisher on my dog after he had a skunk encounter.

 

I figured "When I was a kid we learned to use baking soda to make a fire extinguisher for our Mothers' kitchens (the fireman visited the elementary school and gave us labels to put on a coffee can full of baking soda).

 

Baking soda eliminates (or reduces) odor.

 

Baking soda... dry powder...

Fire extinguisher... dry powder.

 

Luckily no one drove by and saw me hosing my dog down with a fire extinguisher the size of a small scuba tank!

 

It worked great. I drove the 45 minutes home in an MR2 with a dog that had been sprayed by a skunk with very little discomfort (and a lot of white powder in the tiny car).

 

A week later we finally bathed the dog, and the smell returned!

 

There's a handy tip you probably won't hear anywhere else!

 

I hope that someday we will be able to put away

our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

Paul Mitchell Shampoo doesn't work on skunks either. Neither does the "Skunk Off" shampoo you buy from the vet at $10 a bottle. Later I went to a vet for my dogs updated shots and was telling her about the run in my dogs had with a skunk. She didn't even recommend anything on her shelf. She said tomato paste or sauce will do it.

We had a Boston Terrier (terror) when I was growing up. They say, (who are they?) that a dog will only confront a skunk once. WRONG! Our dog, Duke, confronted them every single time he had the chance. We tried the tomato juice remedy and I'm not saying it didn't work, but don't get that dog wet in the near future, because the scent you will get is a cross between rotton tomatoes and skunk spray.

I remember times when Duke had to spend months outdoors because of his smell, and he was a small short-haired dog.

 

In Dukes defense: He was the best gol-darn groundhog eliminator ever! He was small enough to go into their holes and bring them out, one by one. Never a mark on their pelts, just a clean head-kill. Pure instinct! What a dog!

I barely missed hitting a skunk on my bicycle the other night...right here in Plainfield!

 

(Maybe the thread name could be changed to "skunky stuff!"

ALL RIGHT!!!!! GET BACK ON TOPIC NOW!!!

 

Kidding.....fixing stinky dogs is way more important than making a webpage look cool. Here are two remedies to help skunks...I mean dogs.....

 

1. Scope. A lot of it and don't rinse it off.

I have never used this but I am told a few applications may be necessary.

 

2. A couple bottles of Peroxide (2-4), Dawn dish soap, and Baking soda. Mix it all together and it is amazing what happens. You get a frizzy looking dog that only smells if you stick your nose really really close to him. But if you get him wet you will smell it a little more until the dog dries. I have used this and I believe it is the only way to go.

 

Never pet a burning dog......and never ever play leapfrog with a Unicorn.

Can you change the title to "How do you do get rid of that funky smell?"?

 

I hope that someday we will be able to put away

our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.
