Trash day is tomorrow

I got my bag ready to go out to the bin. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled skunk. The smell woke me up the other night, but it wasn't as strong this evening. Nevertheless, I kept an eye out as I trundled the wheelie bin to the curb. Unlike the odor, I did not linger.

Good night!

Twice my dumb cat has been sprayed luckily he tolerates me giving him a bath. I have found baking soda mixed in water wash works well.

The last time he got blasted he ran to the door gagging, not a happy cat at all. Did he learn his lesson? Probably not.
