For all the years I've lived in the country, I've never had a significant Skunk encounter until this AM:
5AM dogs (2 Labs) got me up for their breakfast as usual, then out to do their AM rounds, while I returned to bed. Five-year-old came in through doggy door in what seemed a bit more urgency than usual, followed a few minutes later by the two-year-old - into the bed with us as usual. WHAT IS THAT SMELL???!!!
SKUNK - must've been a distant or retreating spray; Bucky not in any ophth, resp, or facial distress.
What now? - to bathtub (I'd already disassembled the outdoor dog wash station in anticipation of freezing temps), and aggressive scrub with shampoo and then Peroxide - to surprisingly good result!
Still laundering the sheets.
File peroxide away as positive result (know country folk recommend tomato juice, but that's gotta make a mess)
