Taking the smell out of a skunked dog

Posted on | March 28, 2009 |

While I know this has damn little to do with carpentry, it has to do with my day to day partner in the truck. I take my dog, Liza, to work with me as often as I can. She’s a great ice breaker and doesn’t let anyone near my (her) truck. Last night, my wife let her out at 3 a.m. after chasing one of those black and white striped “cats” she came back smelling worse than road kill in August.

I don’t want that kind of smell lingering in the truck at all. So I mixed a potion of equal parts (sort of) baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish detergent, hauled her into the tub, and gave her a bath she didn’t really want. And today, she’s truck ready without any lingering stench.

I’m a sawdust making, tool buying, work boot wearing kind of guy. When I’m not building something useful, usually for someone else, I’m writing about it for Fine Homebuilding or This Old House. I’ve spent most of my adult life honing my craft and now I want to share what I’ve learned. From tool reviews to how-to this blog will explore a bunch of interesting stuff. So strap on a tool belt or crack a cold one and let’s have some fun.
