Have I told you the dogs were hit by the skunk again? Yeah, that’s twice in under a week. Well, Benny doesn’t appear to have been sprayed but Luca definitely was. Again, the stench woke me from a sound sleep. Both dogs were ushered outside and we sprayed down the floor with some Nature’s Miracle odor spray, and then we put together a mix of vinegar and water and brought the dogs back in.
We figured out Benny hadn’t been sprayed and put him in his kennel. It’s kind of too bad in a way that it wasn’t him because he was very willing to jump into the bathtub to get his treats whereas Luca almost had to be picked up to get into the tub and then he had to be restrained so he wouldn’t jump back out. We wet Luca down and then rubbed baking soda into his fur, then doused him with the vinegar/water mix and left that on for a few minutes, then rinsed him off. He didn’t seem to mind getting dried off and went willingly into his kennel to receive his bully stick.
While we were bathing Luca, Jesse had put some vinegar on the stove top to simmer to help cover the skunk smell. Well, it must have been boiling because we came out of the bathroom all of our nostrils stung with the tangy vinegar smell. Both dogs were rubbing their heads on the floor, probably trying to get rid of the smell. We’ve kept the dogs out of the chicken area the past few days so they have not been skunked again. We’ll figure something out eventually. I did hear that Nature’s Miracle has a product that eliminates skunk odor specifically and it’s gotten rave reviews so we WILL be buying a few bottles of that because the vinegar wash masks the scent and the Nature’s Miracle stuff is supposed to break down the oily compounds that cause the odor.
Jesse tells me that our grapes are growing like crazy and I’m looking forward to harvesting them again this year. Really I haven’t been in the backyard much since the chicken run was made larger. I don’t even know how to get back there now to access the grapes, though I’m sure I could figure it out.
We still are missing Mister kitty, we think a family in the neighborhood adopted him. I haven’t put out missing cat fliers because he did come home once or twice so I’m assuming he just likes the other home better. Maybe they don’t have dogs there. Joline is still coming around, but she’ll only come inside when the dogs are kenneled. Eventually when we get kittens again I think they will have a better time around dogs because they will grow up with them. It’s just too hard to try to adjust both dogs and cats to each other right now.
There have been several nights in the past week where Leo has slept straight through the night. It’s been fantastic! He’s such a good baby.

We downloaded a new game onto the Xbox 360 for Ezra called Kinect Party and he LOVES it. He wants to play it all the time. He’s also surprisingly good at the Kinect bowling and boxing games. He’s recently been getting familiar with the Xbox controller. Now, I don’t want him to sit in front of a gaming console all day, but I don’t mind so much when he is playing active games that keep him moving. And I like that he’s learning the controller because I feel it helps with hand/eye coordination and also multitasking. As long as he’s not playing Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, I think his screen time is ok.
I’m a little hesitant about eating hard boiled eggs lately. I had Jesse make me some and one of them had been rotten (which I found out when I opened the hard boiled egg). It wasn’t really smelly or anything, just really grossed me out. I think it may take a little time before I’m keen on them.
Jesse has smoked a couple tri tip steaks in the smoker and his latest one was awesome! On occasion he’s had some problems getting a good smokiness imparted to the meat, but this latest attempt was perfect.
I’ve been making milk kefir smoothies again. Jesse and I really like them, and Ezra loves helping me make them but won’t drink it. He will taste it when it’s done and I’m pouring it into a container and he says it’s yummy, but he just will not drink it when it’s in his own container. Kids, go figure.
