The big hounds would know better and stay focused on raccoons, but the terriers generally found all fur to be “the enemy.”

I’ve had a few instances where the faint-but-lingering scent of skunk remained on Monday morning when I’d be engaging a business partner, wearing a suit and tie, but frankly, I’ve had more trouble washing away the scent of rotten corn or milo after cleaning out damaged bins than I have had in removing skunk spray.
