[s-cars] Happily Hitched UrS[kunk]

[brian hoeft]

With some spare Sunday time I share a story of my Friday night.

Yes, there is S-car content! Due to my 95 S6 with Da'Lan hitch.

Soo, before my late food plans with other friends who work hours I prefer
not to, I was at a friends garage quaffing some ale, tinkering with
dirtbikes, etc.,

With a fenced in yard, my pretty pitbull (Liebe) was free to rome without
worry for me. Or so i thought. When all of a sudden, here she crawls into
the garage, squinting and cowering to my side, wet faced,with a snot looking
streak up her snout.. and then it hits us.. that pungeont, foul smell of a
skunk. !F! word! ...

Quick point her out of the garage and close the doors. ...Mean? maybe, but
she's a dog and already over it. From there figure a plan around some shirt
over the face laughter..

Dealing with it there wasnt really an option and being my responsibility, I
knew she had to get home. ..But wait! I'm not putting her in my backseat
now!!, my veggie car isnt running currently, so what!?... Then we laugh some
more at how im going to go home, get my trailer, tow it back, and get her in
it for a cross town trip..

So thats what I did.. By that time, my other friends waiting to eat were at
my house, so them coming with to load Liebe into my trailer wasnt their
first choice.. But the hysterical laughter of trying to coax a pitbull, you
dont want to touch, into a small dog crate on top an aluminum trailer, made
up for it..[insert imagination here] The terrified terrier laden crate
clanking around the trailer was worth a couple concerned laughs too. As was
the diner storytelling, before a trip to wal-mart, to buy 20+ bucks worth of
tomato juice and a bottle of dawn dish detergent.

At around 4AM I finished "bathing"(pouring/rubbing tomato juice over) her
multiple times while tied to her run&holding her approriately so I didnt get
whipped with tomato skunk juice, and running away in between sessions so she
could shake off and shiver, not even crying once,,being the sensitive pit
bull type, knowing she made a serious party foul bad sniff decision. Then
for an indoor bath in the tub, to a quick escort back outside for drying.

Man did that suck, but hopefully she learned a lesson(probably not) and im
again very pleased I am equipped to tow on occasion.

Oh, and "Natures Miracle" was the product I found at my local farm feed
store the next day, that really got the rest of the skunk off.

woof, brian
