So last night as Shan and I were hanging tough at the retreat, I ask Shan, "Hey should we let Charlie and Marley out?" So we do and the next thing I know Marley runs in to the house going balistic and Charlie is out back defending the yard from a skunk. Both dogs got sprayed! Thank gosh they were okay and we gave them baths. No one got bit, however the smell just would not dissipate. We called the animal hospital just to make sure we shouldn't bring them in. I stayed up until 5 in the morning drinking a bottle of red wine and cleaning the retreat. And just as I was going to write it off as a full on Friday the 13th nightmare I went to my trusty brain for a quick idea on how to turn this thing around...so of course being the google googler that I am I found the symbolism behind a skunk. And boy this was in no way, shape or form and accident, in fact it was a blessing. Here is what I found:
To the Native Americans, skunks symbolize understanding how to "walk your talk", reputation, sensuality, understanding energy flows, self-respect, courage, will-power, self-confidence, caution, perseverance and determination.
Super sick! And this is interesting in our lives right now (Shan and I's) because many changes are occuring that directly relate to this, it is unbelievable how perfectly it makes sense. So, as I conclude today's post with that I will leave by saying..google, google, google...it just might have the answer.

I live in skunk territory as well. To get the smell off use a combination of warm water, dish soap, peroxide and baking soda. It works!
