At 2:30a.m. we were woken up by the smell of a skunk. It's not as rare as you might think as we live on an island of wilderness in the city. What made this different was the power of this particular skunk.
After the initial blast we went back to sleep. In the morning the WHOLE house smelled like skunk. It made your nose run, eyes water and sneeze. We opened the house and tried to air it out which was not working so we escaped to breakfast at a nearby restaurant leaving the windows open and the fan running. After running some errands we returned to Skunk Manor and found that it still smelled very bad. We broke out the scented candles which helped.
That evening we were thinking of having people over for games and tea, but that would have been just cruel and cold as we still had the windows open 'till it got too cold. That evening we had a fire which also helped rid the house of the smell.
The next day was clear and we left the windows open ad were rid of the smell.
Yesterday Maddy went to the garage to dump the trash lo and behold the smell is still in there. The skunk must have gone off right in front of the garage. Its a good thing Maddy didnt leave her car windows open!

what will happen when you get your doggies?
I'll take 'em in at night or get lots of tomato juice.
I think tomato juice or sauce gets the skunk smell out....but given that it is your home and not an animal that got skunked, this is probably not a viable solution. On a positive note-you now have a blog entry with a label of "skunk." THAT IS AWESOME!
