What the?!
I woke up in the middle of the night to this really weird smell. So disoriented, I started sniffing around the apartment, stumbling around in my underwear. No, nothing in the living room… No, nothing in the kitchen or the bathroom…
Maybe our ridiculous mess of extension cords and surge protectors are melting somewhere?
Like a bloodhound (only much less effective), I followed the smell back into our bedroom. WTF is going on?
Casey insisted there was nothing to worry about and we got back in bed. Then right before I fell sleep, it hit me that I knew that smell! A SKUNK. He must have sprayed right outside our window.
This morning, our whole apartment reeked. mmmm! And I was complaining about the burnt popcorn that Casey burned two weeks ago! Silly me.

Eeeeew! GROSS! How did you manage to fall asleep?
How does one handle a situation such as yours? Not exactly like you should open the window to air out the insides if the stench is coming from the outside world.
COUGH COUGH COUGH! Pepe Le Pew! Whew!

EWWIE! And I guess you just have to wait it out… I’ve never smelled skunk, not that I’m jealous or anything

Eeeeee, skunk! Casey once got sprayed by one while she was in our backyard. When she came back in, the house suddenly reeked like no one’s business, and we started to chuck all sorts of things away, thinking they’d suddenly gone rancid, when we finally discovered (after 10 minutes or so) that it was our dear pooch. She didn’t like the multiple baths we had to inflict upon her, but there was no other way.

Pepe le peux, eh? I’ve heard if a person gets sprayed, he/she can bathe in tomato juice. I don’t know what to do for an apartment. Maybe Febreze! I would tell you to open all the windows…but I know it’s winter up there and with your weatherman’s track record…you could be in a blizzard (or not) at any time. If I told you it was in the 80′s today, would that make you come visit.
It’s leg-shaving weather. Oh, I got distracted. Good luck with the smell and have a great weekend!

When I was little my dad used to always sing a song about skunks (i’m pretty sure he made it up) whenever one was dead in the road or had sprayed something… I think I need to teach it to you now..
Dead skunk in the middle of the road, yeah!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road, yeah!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road, yeah,
Stinkin’ all the way to heaven!!
I’m so sorry about that.. That song really stinks!

I like the smell, myself – but not in my bedroom!

Ewwwwwwww! I hope you can get rid of that skunk stink. It would bother me to no end.

I hate to say it…but I kind of like the smell of skunks too…. :/ I know, weird.
