Two Dogs In A Tub...Sort Of.....

How Could You?

Friday was dog bathing day. Only two dogs, so not that big a deal. I had gotten Ariel brushed out and mostly de-matted the day before, so that helped. She still has a few, but we are getting there. Boone thought he needed to be brushed and 'de-matted' too, so I spent some time on him as well. I decided to use Boone's pool to 'soak' them in, since it was handy and Ariel in particular needed to sit and soak. It worked out well, and I drained it after the bathing event, so it was nice and clean when I refilled it later.

Boone Refuses to Look At Me. How COULD I.

Even Wet, Old Ariey Still Has 'It'

I have to turn Ariel out of the yard into the front pasture, so she won't find a big dusty spot to roll in, first thing. The front is pretty much grass covered, so out she goes for awhile. Bathing two dogs, one short haired is really a snap. Once upon a time I used to have two collies and a Pom to beautify!

The Humiliation of it All.

When I first got Boone, he had to have a bath every 7 days, so he got pretty used to being bathed. He still doesn't like it, but he is good about it. Except getting in his pool (what???)--it was all scary with floaty soap suds. Big dork. I had to lift in one paw at a time. Let me tell you, if this dog doesn't want to go somewhere--he doesn't go!

Ha--See How The Camera Likes This!

Anyway, the doggies are all shiny and clean and smell much, much better, even if they do harbor bitter feelings about it all.

Okay, No Bitter Feelings, But We Deserve A BIG Treat for Being So Good! Don't We?

Yes, sweet puppies, you do.
