So last night Aurora and I got home late (after dark) and were walking up the pathway to the door. I usually don't leash her during this time because she has always proven to stick close. It would just so happen to be the one time she runs off that she finds herself in trouble. I saw a small animal at the end of our property but thought it might be a cat, small dog or at least a turkey ( we have them in our area) I had my hands full and called Aurora back to me to no avail. I saw a plume go up and I was sure it was a small turkey but then I heard a growl that was not Aurora's growl. I then saw a white strip contrasted with the black but it was too late. My poor Aurora let out a whine, sneezed and pawed at her nose as she ran back towards the house. By then I had awoken my sleeping boyfriend and it must have been a sight with us trying to get Aurora in the front door and out the back door to the fenced in yard without letting her touch a thing. It's not like we could juct pick her up and carry her, then the smell would get all over us. After she was secured in the back yard we both rushed to our phones for HELP! It was determined that we would be using tomato juice. After we ploppled the poor pup in the tub we then realized we had no tomato juice so he grabbed the closest thing we had.....ketchup. What Aurora didn't eat off of my hands seemed to work a little. Today we are going to give her a bath in peroxide and baking powder which is supposed to rid her of it all together. Oh did I forget to mention this was the same day that she had her first vet visit. The poor thing had one hell of a day! I'm sure we'll be able to laugh about it in oh 100 years =(
