I stood respectfully to one side and didn't make any sudden moves. Out here I smell skunk regularly. Not too terribly long ago I heard a dog barking, then yelping, and shortly thereafter the scent of skunk drifted in through the window. I can fill in the details.

The neighborhood bully (a nasty teenage boy 3 years older than me) was pushing me around, and the dog bit him right in the ass. Needless, to say, the kid never came near me again (at least when the dog wasn't around). Unfortunately, for this kid, the dog was almost ALWAYS around. We lived next door, and he would start growling just when he saw the kid riding his bike on the road. Our dog was a pretty big dog on top of it. Most people were afraid of him, but they were fine as long as they didn't threaten a family member. “Such is the fee we pay for the undiluted love of a good hound”

Driving back to the house- a good forty minute trip- was quite the experience. And it took two washes with Clinic shampoo to dampen the stench from his coat, the car however reeked for weeks.

My mom just banished him to the garage until the odor went away because she got sick of tomato juicing him (and your right, it didn't work-said dog spent the night in the garage anyway). I accidently hit a skunk with an ex-boyfriend's new car, and the smell didn't go away for a long time. Oh, well, he was an asshole anyway LOL. I was sorry about the skunk though.

Entirely in agreement with Shopstewardess et al: amazing phototudinal pulchritude ... and fortitude. Coincidentally, last week's Video of the Week on Science Friday concerned the skunk/dog nexus, precisely: http://www.sciencefriday.com/videos/watch/10214/.
