An Interesting 12 hours!

Well! What an interesting 12 hours I have had.. Fitting that 12 Hours of Temecula is tomorrow, even though I won't be there. I got to have my own 12 hour marathon of sorts.

9:30 PM: I am in bed and start to smell heavy skunk smell. I yell to Greg to check Murphy because I know he is outside!

9:33 PM: Murphy has officially been sprayed by a skunk. So much for going to bed early.

9:45 PM: We look online to find ideas to get skunk smell out. Greg goes to Gerrards and comes back with:
· Tomato Juice
· Peroxide
· Baking Soda
· Rubber Gloves

10:10 PM: We are in the backyard bathing Murphy three times
· Peroxide, Baking Soda, Dish Soap Mix
· Dog Shampoo
· Tomato Juice (which he liked the flavor of so was licking it off while we tried to let it set in)

10:30: Tried to decide where to leave Murphy for the night because his face still reeks of skunk. It was between the Garage and the front room with old sheets and blankets on the furniture. Garage Won. We put one of his beds out there and some water. He was OK, no sounds during the night.

11:00PM – 1:00AM: Various missed calls on my blackberry. No numbers I recognize but mostly from the 909 and 951

3:00 AM: I make Greg go check on Murphy in the garage because we haven’t heard any noise! He was ok and still breathing. being a good boy!

5:30AM – now: MORE phone calls on my Blackberry and a few messages. I come to realize that someone is trying to call someone named Rudy from San Bernardino Correction Facility. YES an inmate! A female. I kept refusing the charges.

8:45 AM: MORE calls, finally get a persons voice when I answer. TURNS OUT Rudy’s Bail Bonds accidentally forwarded all their calls to my # so I have been getting countless calls from peeps in the slammer and other folks looking for RUDY!

WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have advice for getting the skunk smell out of Murphy’s face? He is basically quarantined to the garage and the yard.

9:06 AM just got another call asking for Rudy. I had to politely say i have nothing to do with Bail Bonds! I wonder how much longer this will go on.

In other news: Matt interviewed me for a blog post about our Technical Support Island for our Conference blog! It may be award winning!
