Well, it's been a morning to say the least.
We woke up this morning after the storms to our house smelling pretty horrible and we couldn't find the source. Columbia Gas came out right away and found 3 gas leaks in our basement which will need to be corrected by a plumber, hopefully this afternoon. The gas has been shut off in the mean time. Of course headed into a holiday weekend.
As I was packing up to head to work (very late, and a couple canceled patients later--apologies to my patients) I saw Turk sniffing out in the yard...something black and white. π
It turns out that Ottie killed a skunk in the wee hours of the morning, got sprayed, and came back in the house wreaking to high heaven.
So we get to pay a plumber to fix the leaks (very glad we are safe and this didn't have bigger consequences). And spend the next week or so trying to get the skunk smell out of our house and off of Ottie.
If anyone has suggestions for skunk odor, I am ALL ears.
