Default Skunk Remediation

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)
