I know I’ve said I wouldn’t post on the weekends, but I just had to give all the inquiring minds an update!
As you may or may not know, we’ve had a mysterious stench invade our home and were hoping to remedy that situation Friday.
Here is the link to the original story.
Well, the mystery has been solved! This evening (or yesterday evening, if you’re actually keeping track of the time-stamp on this post…), my hubby and I removed some boards from the deck and found Foxie under the cement slab. 
(Of course, the actual process was much more involved than just that sentence…but I’ll spare you the gory details.) 
Alas, our CSI skills are lacking in the autopsy department, and decomp was too extensive, so we don’t know the cause of death.
To be honest, we were just relieved to know what the source of the odor was and actually be able to remove it.
Needless to say, the smell is dissipating rather quickly now that we’ve accomplished that task. We’re letting the deck air-out and hope to have the hole under the slab filled in and all the boards put back in place by the time our guests arrive for the party.
We buried Foxie in the backyard by one of the trees. It was where he (she?) liked to frolic and nap, so we think that’s appropriate.
R.I.P. Foxie
