run 1:34:00 [3]
Wonderful run in the valley. Longest in nearly 3 months. Ran into Kate, who's on her 2nd run since blowing up her ankle at the Blaze. All healing well. Then the rains came down. Plenty of thunder and lightening and deep woods darkness. Good for some drama. High fived Baloney going the other way as the rains came down. Finally, there were Super and Turbo, loping along at a clip that looked worthy.
We made our way back to Artaban and took the trail in. The Trixelator decided right abouts then to take on a skunk. It was really the first time she'd come across an adversary her size and it seemed like a fair fight. Turbo, Wes and I start hollerin' like crazy people, but Trix stood her ground. I was in that bad place between pride in a dog with crazy ass courage and the sinking realization that this just wasn't going to end well.
And so it didn't. Had to stuff the poor beast in my car to keep her out of the house. Drove up to Ancaster for some de-skunkifier juice and spent half an hour with our bewildered pet in the shower. She has spent the rest of the day glumly slumped on the couch, wishing to god she could get away from that freakin' smell that for some damn reason keeps following her around.
