Hmmm, you must not be a fan of drinking coffee. Skunk & freshly brewed coffee smell just the same. Brew a pot of coffee and drink that – you won’t even notice what your dog smells like anymore.

Wow, what the heck kind of coffee are you drinking? My coffee smells far better than skunk.

One of my friends had a golden that got badly skunked. Summer’s Eve douche was what she used to wash the dog, and it did help alot. (And yes, she got a lot of weird looks at the local drugstore.) But for about a week after, you could smell skunk every time the dog barked, and for a couple months more, if her fur got wet you could still smell it.
