wikiHow and How to Deskunk Your Dog

According to their introductory tour, “wikiHow is a collaborative writing project aiming to build the world's largest and highest-quality how-to manual. As of this minute, wikiHow contains 56,674 articles. We are read by tens of millions of people from multiple countries every month making us the most popular wiki after Wikipedia..” I can believe it. It is populated with practical, as well as entertaining, how-to wiki articles. After browsing several categories I recognized an article that I felt qualified to edit.

One of my dogs had a short encounter with a skunk at 2 AM Saturday morning. This is not my first experience with the skunk versus dog aftermath. Tomato juice and those commercial remedies from the pet store don't work! The deskunking method I found on the internet at 2 AM is so much better! The wikiHow site had a How to Deskunk your dog article which also included the same deskunking solution. I felt confident in adding a little more information to the article because of my recent experience. The editing feature at wikiHow was easy to use.


How to Deskunk Your Dog

Louie the Wonder Dog

I have always liked the companionship of dogs. They listen to you when no one else will. They always accept you for who you are. My dogs have always been glad to see me when I come home from work. Once I had a dog who actually learned to speak a little English. She could say “Hello” when I came home from work. Sure, it wasn't enunciated clearly, but it was close enough that I understood it. She could also say “water” and “braunschweiger". Braunschweiger Liver Sausage was her favorite treat.

Today, I want to share some photos of my friend Louie the Wonder Dog. I just started a Flickr account as part of my “23 Things” Web 2.0 learning experience, and so I uploaded some recent photos of Louie. Louie is by far the most charming and engaging canine friend I've ever known. I'm sure I'll share more about Louie with you in later posts, but right now, I just want you to take a look at the photos I've posted of him at www.flickr.com/photos/web2momma. Enjoy!
