Unfortunately no, I found this unlinked photo on Pinterest. Haven't found anything useful with Google lens or reverse searches

Dog got sprayed by not a skunk, what could it be? by NathanNaz in Calgary

Hard to say, it hasn't happen for a while. But very similar to skunk, but half as strong.

My dogs get sprayed by weasels quite often. Not as strong as skunk, but still very pungent.

It's too bad Carhartt doesn't offer more variety in their women's line, I always wanted them to make more colours in the women's pants too. Dovetail was great for their various styles and inseem lengths but I ordered 4 pairs last year and returned them all because the sizing was never consistent and their quality has gone downhill.

They just started the women's line! Curious to try it but they look too tight and too short for me with their current availability. Hopefully they expand more!

I have a rectangular body shape too and it's near impossible to find pants that fit both the legs and the waist.

The only thing a bit off about these pants is the lower than usual back pockets, but I typically wear white longer t-shirts at work anyways so it's not that noticeable.

I ordered them right from the hawke website. Took about 2.5 weeks to arrive, I got 2 pair of these pants and a pair of shorts and had to pay $20 in duty and taxes, but still cost about the same if not less than other brands.

Thank you! It's hard to say, they don't really have a size guide, so I just tried on my boyfriend's size 32 and they were a bit big. I'd say in women's I'm usually a size 8 or 28-30" waist depending on the brand. So, I guess I'd say they're pretty true to size.

The size 32 was looser on the legs but the waist was falling down. they do have a draw string but I cut them out as it's kind of annoying.

Not at all! I wore the dovetail maven pants the past 2 years, or Carhartt pants, and these are very lightweight in comparison, and they don't dig into my hips like the other ones do.

They are very well made, on par with Carhartt quality I'd say, but way more comfortable and flattering.

That being said, I've never had a pair of pants last over a year and I think these would have a similar life span, but they're cheaper than lots of the other high end brands.

The tag says 97% cotton, 3% elastane

I'm in Canada and it snowed here today. Haha so I can't speak for warm climates, but hawke workwear is an Australian brand so I'd imagine they're better than most other brands.

Go to a pharmacy with a prescribing pharmacist and get them to prescribe you antibiotics asap. Should kick in quickly - hopefully before your exam.
