Cut Your Tax Bill, and More

Pets Your pooch got sprayed by a skunk—now what? Luckily, you probably have the solution in your medicine cabinet and kitchen. Mix 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup of baking soda, and 1 or 2 teaspoons of liquid soap. Scrub your dog with the mixture, then rinse him off with warm water. If he still stinks, wash him again—and try not to get too cross with the poor guy.
