So... I've never been sprayed nor have our dogs but I do have a pretty comical skunk story. My BIL is a Long Beach officer and was doing some sort of security detail about 20 years ago when he was a rookie. Nature called and there was a restroom facility close by but the lights were off. It was one of those where there are no doors. No problem as he had a flashlight. Well about midway through he hears something scurrying about, shines his light towards the sound and sees a skunk in his stall! At this point he didn't know what to do!! Sitting on the shitter, skunk staring him down!! The skunk unfortunately had already made up his mind though. As he is trying to slowly stand up and put his pants on the skunk sprays him and hits him in the face!! As he put it: "the bastard had the accuracy of a military sniper". He said it was beyond anything he has ever smelled. Eyes teared up, tasting that shit.... I'm cracking up typing this out!! He tries to wash some of it off in the sink with zero success. Scrambles to his cruiser and hauls ass lights n sirens back to the station, windows down, head outside all the while trying to radio in and describe what had happened. He also called the wife and tried to explain what had happened. She kept telling him to roll up the window as she couldn't hear him!! She started laughing so hard he eventually hung up on her! Gets to the station and of course news had made its way throughout the station so al his buddies were cracking jokes. The next several days consisted of his wife experimenting on him with all sorts of cocktails none of which worked. If memory serves me correct, they had to replace the interior of his cruiser!

They are definitely in AZ. I have seen them down in the village near the bridge late at night walking our dog. One was coming out of the patio area of Burgers By The Bridge. The other was over by Kokomo and was not afraid of us at all.
They are at the river area of AZ for sure. Wife heard our dogs barking one night she opens the blinds and a huge skunk was sitting on our landing at the top of the stairs, she lets out a short surprised yell and both her and the skunk get spooked, she calls me, skunk ran off I could not stop laughing. A few weeks after that we see a small family of them running up the road and a few times by the water just taking a cruise through the neighborhood. Needless to say every time we let the pups out we are like helicopter dad and mom just in case (well for skunks, coyotes, and bob cats).

Update:
The house still stinks. We went to a buddies last night to party, and stayed at their place. Just got home. Stinks still. The dogs still smell. I was hoping it would be gone by now. I think this is a new way of life for me. I’m the stinky kid in class.
