Last time our Shepard got tangled up with one she came in house and piled into bed with me like it was nuthin. She was wet with musk. Took our breath away. Sadly it was about three in the morning…get up strip bed, start laundry, head to shower with proud dog! Apply internet’s secret de skunk sauce, which actually worked by the way. Rinse and repeat. Remove dead skunk in morning. She did not learn a thing. Apparently Shepard’s simply see it as a cost of doing business.
