You could say Winnie caused quite the stink .
The date of Aug. 4 , 2021 , will be a day that forever survive in the hearts of Kentucky ’s first fellowship . That ’s when the land ’s First Dog , a blackstandard poodlenamed Winnie , was skunked right in the noggin .
Gov. Andy Beshear and his family — First Lady Britainy and youngster Will and Lila — seat down for a mockumentary - trend " Winnegate " video to mark the function over the Labor Day weekend . It ’s somewhat shady , though it does make me find unbelievably bad for poor Winnie , who evidently plodded around the governor ’s sign of the zodiac in post - skunk shame .

" She also did n’t understand why nobody would pet her , " Britainy Beshear secern the tv camera .
The saga get around 8:30 p.m. on the calamitous day . The governor was outside with his wiener when Winnie sniffed something and bolt off to her papa ’s left . Not thinking much of it , Beshear checked his earphone . She run away back with " stuff " all over her cheek , cough .
" If there is such a thing as a bullseye of skunking , that bullseye was correct on Winnie Beshear ’s face . In the eyes . In the olfactory organ . In the ears . And at long last on the dad she would scat to , " the governor aver .
When he could n’t blarney her into the outdoor fountain , he elect — get it ? ‘Cause he ’s the regulator — to bring Winnie inwardly , which was perchance not the good call ?
The smell was tremendous . Britainy , Will , and Lila described it as a mixing of a New York City landfill , 1500s Paris , decayed Pisces the Fishes , sure-enough sauerkraut , and horse radish . Eclectic ! The family had toopen up several second - flooring windowsover that weekend to disembarrass their home of the olfactory perception .
Beshear got Winnie into the exhibitor to rinse her off , which is in all probability about when Britainy take heed the thunderous " Britainy ! ! " she describe in the television .
" There is by all odds a masculine , gubernatorial way to call for your wife when your wienerwurst has been skunked , " Beshear sound out on camera .
After a few day , anda passably close buzzcut , Winnie was back to normal . The end of the video shows her getting some much - ask dearie from her phratry . Hopefully this sort of thing never happens again to poor Winnie . But if it does , we hope the Beshears take a few minutes to consult theDaily Paws manoeuver to un - skunkingyour hotdog . It ’s got all you ask to cognize .
