De-skunk your dog, and other small group lessons.

As our small group was shutting down for the night we visited with our overworked and under appreciated friend who happens to be doing an internship here in Horse Country, Nicole Fawns. I let out our Cairn Terrier one last time before putting her to bed and I went to let Nicole out and Daisi in.
Well, let’s just say it was a good thing those two things happened at the same time because Daisi came in with her tail between her legs smelling like…well SKUNK. I shewed her to the garage and Nicole gave us the formula for De-skunking the dog. Here it is for all of you who run into the same situation.

• 1 quart of Hydrogen Peroxide
• 1 tsp liquid soap
• 1/4 cup of baking soda
• Wet dog with water
• Mix Up ingredients
• Pour on dog, being careful around eyes
• Let sit 5-10 minutes.
• Wash out.

Now how is that for a great reason to keep your small group open to anyone and everyone. Nicole is single, and our group is all couples. She’s from the West Coast and we’re all East Coast or Mid-Westerners. She’s in her 20’s and two of us are approaching 40s. There is no reason to have her in our group, right? WRONG!

While she’s more busy than any of us and misses many a small group gathering it’s a place for her to get connected, and we love having her around.

Funny how God knew we’d need her expertese.

 
Keep your small group open! You never know when you might need a de-skunking formula. After all it’s not about you.
