Brief scenario:

SWMBO is visited LAST evening by neighbors who bring cougar pamphlet and
info that their cat and two neighboring dogs have been taken by a cougar
in the last week. Special instructions to keep pets in at night, not to
feed pets outside, special instructions on what to do in case of cougar
attack, yada yada yada.

Fast forward 24 hours. You guessed it. SWMBO leaves doggie door left
unsecured because it is more convenient to remind me about when I don't
do it. Things that MIGHT occur on my watch are IMPOSSIBLE on hers.
Cougar has sense and experience enough to let skunks alone, but not our
Lab/Rott mix. Dopey evades cougar, but finds skunk. Corgi is pugnacious,
narly, and has bitten me three times, but sensible enough not to mess
with skunks.

Now what do I do with a dog with skunk musk on it, and a house that is
not fit for company. (Arriving Tuesday from Houston)

Google is your friend. Have you tried it?

No, it is not my friend. I have real friends, and I talk to them and I
prefer live people. I USE Google a lot. It's just that one has to wade hip
deep sometimes through date on Google instead of getting the short answer
from a live human, just like on the waiting line on the phone. If I just
use Google, what's the sense of a newsgroup?
