Removing that Skunk Odor
Thank goodness for science. There is a way to remove the stupid skunk odor.
We got a bottle of “Nature’s Miracle Skunk Odor Remover.” So far it’s not quite close to the claim of being “miracle” yet. But it’s removed about 90% of the smell. I am still trying to figure out where the remaining 10% is coming from… Even if the smell is completely gone, I have a feeling that psychologically we’ll always be able to smell it…

I think it’s funny that “Nature’s Miracle” tries to get rid of a natural smell. I mean - it’s natural to a skunk… right? The miracle is that the little guy shoots bleach out of his bum. A coworker ran into one a couple years ago - well, his dog did - it took them many many baths to get it off the dog.
You can’t fight nature, man. No matter how much concrete you put down, she’ll keep coming back and taking over. Your neighbor was handing out freebies and a place to nest. Maybe we’ll adopt one of the baby skunks - you know it’s springtime and she’s gonna have a whole litter!
Will animal control come and put them down or just move them somewhere else with less people?

It’s a miracle in itself that the smell can even be rid off… Try smelling that plastic-burning + rotten egg odor for a day, and you’d feel like you are going to get lung cancer…
Dogs have hundreds of times of smelling capacities than our humble noses; I can’t imagine what it’s like for them… That’s one case where it’s a blessing that nature dumbed us human smelling capabilities down for our own sake… In this particular aspect, it’s proof that human is really the weaker species.
I’ll let you know when that damn skunk has babies. You can have them all. But I ain’t helping you catching or moving them.
Not sure what the animal control would do. Given our prior experience with the City of San Jose, I am not placing too much hope with the skunk surviving a trip to their cages. But we aren’t calling animal control (yet). The landlord has stood her ground on how much “buffet” the neighbor can leave out for the “cats” after the incident. So hopefully Mr./Ms. Stinky won’t be coming anymore…
