Well, Coco, looks like Mom has competition for one of the 10 best columnists in the country now :)

Oh, I love those peanuts over her eyes. And, Coco, 5 is the charm for getting skunks to play with you. Good girl!

Oh poor Coco! Sometimes our friends are real stinkers. The solution is to try to find new and better ones. Or maybe your mom can adopt a puppy for you to adore. You sure do look like a love bug to me.

I’d love another dog but not everyone is on board just yet šŸ˜†

Oh dear, that's right up there is Jen's doggie stealing a raw chicken and bringing it up to the bedroom. Thanks for the good laugh, and my sympathies and best wishes.

Coco! C'mere, you gorgeous big-hearted Rottie. About those cute black and white critters you keep trying to befriend...it is admirable that, after their first stinging rejection of your playful advance, you gave them a second chance, in case they were having an off day. We humans could learn from your magnanimous nature. But...Tsk! Listen up, Girl! They have not changed their terribly stinky behavior, so they are not worthy of you, or your smile, or your hopeful heart. Next time they come around, take yourself inside and check the kitchen for cheese and strawberries. Your mom and dad will likely reward you for not needing that shower scrubbing y'all hate. OK?

Coco said she’s trying to do better :)

Awww...she's already the best! It's so hard, so unfair: Curiosity squirts the dog, every stinkin' time.

Coco is adorable, even if she does try to befriend skunks

Coco Chanel Young, you very good girl, I wish you fewer nighttime friend encounters, all the strawberries and cheese your heart desires and enough sleepy time for ALL of your sweetest dreams.

Dear Coco Chanel…please tell your mom and dad to get tomato juice for a body wash for you in case you pursue your little black and white friends again. Works like a charm!

mom and dad have had good luck with a mix of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish soap…breaks up the stinky oil!

Awww, Coco, you beautiful, naughty girl! But those skunks are so cute ... I'm sure sharing their spray is a sign of affection for their lovely canine friend. You might tell your mom to try a cheap and very effective solution - the hydrogen peroxide bath. My dog Jet highly recommends it! (well, his mom does anyhow):

Scroll down for the recipe. Of course, follow all safety procedures - avoid eyes, ears, mouth, don't let the dog lick the solution, don't pre-mix and store the solution, etc. It really works!

My husband's cousin and her husband keep a commercial skunk odor removal product around for when their dogs have an unfortunate encounter with one of those cute creatures. Tomato juice does not work.

Here 's to hoping that Coco does not go for a fifth encounter of the close kind!
