Bella and the Skunk

So, the other night, just before bed, we let Scooter and Bella out to do their business. Usually, at night, they quickly go out and back in so we don't leash them. All of a sudden, we hear crazy barking. We immediately ran outside and found that Bella had cornered a skunk that was in the yard. She was giving him the buisness, so he decided to give her the buisness and sprayed her right between the eyes. However, we didn't know it, so we got her back in the house and then realized what had happened. Oh my goodness...worse smell ever!!! It didn't smell like the skunk smell you smell outside, but it smelled like burning rubber. It was awful. To make matters worse, the spraying happened right near our air intake so it got into the central air. Thankfully, Jamie's mom had some tomato juice and brought it to us so we could bathe Bella. It helped quite a bit, but the smell was still unbearable in our house. Neither of us could sleep--I coughed me head off because the smell made my throat scratchy. It was awful, and unfortunately, the smell has stuck around. Hopefully, it will wear off soon.
