Well, that would be me. I smell like skunk. Its faint, but its there. And its not good. Desoto and I went for a walk on Friday night. Other people have social lives and are actually out places, with other people, having fun, but me, I walk my dog. So, while we were out walking, Desoto sees something at the end of a driveway, and being either very curious or very dumb, wacks it with his paw. After its stops tumbling and rights itself, I see that it is a skunk and it is very mad and it chases us. Well, I was the one running, Desoto thought it wanted to play with him and didn't follow my example and run away, screaming skunk at the top of his lungs. So he got sprayed right in the face and as I was attached to Desoto by his leash, I got sprayed too.
Skunk spray is very potent and if you get sprayed in the face, it causes vomiting, frothing at the mouth and makes your eyes and nose produce copious amounts of grossness. In both people and dogs. Needless to say it was not a pleasant night. I have now tried every concoction known to man to remove the smell. Nothing works completely. After 100 baths, the smell is still there.
It is now 3 days later and I still smell like skunk as does Desoto and my house and car. All day long, my coworkers have been walking up to my cubicle and sniffing, then laughing and saying, "Yep, still there." Bastards.

You poor thing. That is not funny but I have to admit I laughed. Sorry.
ouch... That really sucks...
You probably tried this, but I will post it anyway just in case:
If you pet has had a run in with a skunk then this recipe will help you remove the smell:
1 quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1 teaspoon liquid soap / dishwashing detergent
Mix all the above in a bucket or bowl. Thoroughly wet your pet with the solution. Knead it well into his coat being careful to keep the formula out if the eyes, nose and mouth.
You can use a sponge to carefully wipe it onto his face. Once finished rinse the animal thoroughly with clean water.
Another tip to neutralize smells on your pet by washing them in tomato juice, this can be expensive for the large dog, but well worth the price compared to the smell!
