Since I am ALL about learning new things, I did a bit of internet research today to find out how to solve my current dilemma. There are conflicting views out there on how to accomplish the task at hand, but this one made sense to me knowing the chemical properties of the ingredients. So, with no further ado, I offer this tutorial.

How to De-skunk a Labrador Retriever

1. Mix together 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda, and a few squirts of liquid soap.

2. Grab unsuspecting dog by the collar and drag to the chain which has been previously placed around the porch post.

3. Turn hose onto dog and watch her sprint the length of the chain. Follow dog with hose until chain is completely wrapped around your legs.

4. Time out. Turn hose off! Gently unwrap chain from around legs and other body parts. Bandage bleeding areas.

5. Pour peroxide mixture all over dog and let it soak for 3 minutes. Right.
( Note: save some to pour again when dog shakes it all off )

6. Repeat as needed per shaking.

7. Grab dog by collar to avoid chain burns and rinse with hose while repeatedly saying "sit." Right.

6. Curse while trying to remove chain from pissed off dog. Repeat.

7. Remove beer from refrigerator and enjoy while dog rolls in grass.
