Dogs

I don't know about you all that have dogs, but have you ever given them a bath when they don't want one!  Not a pretty sight!  RJ did reasonably well, but try lifting a 60 pound dog into the bath tub when he doesn't want to go into it!  All you hear is soft grumbles and growls insisting he did not want a bath!   I love it when they are all wet and look like drowned rats!  He did, had to laugh at him and of course he is giving me this look telling me that if he could he would of bit me just for pure meanness !  Have to say he did it like a trouper!  Then with all the injuries he has had I have to lift him out of the tub and try picking up a WET 60 pound dog, Not any fun!

Now we have the other dog, Jake!  Now you would think being a lab he would love getting wet and having a bath, NOT!!  He would rather jump into the pond or lake or river or you name it.   But a little ole bath tub, NO WAY.  He wouldn't get into the tub on his own I had to lift him and I thought RJ was heavy you lift Jake he is 81 lbs!!!  Of course the whole time he has his head over the rim of the tub just waiting for the chance to jump out when I wasn't looking, but I did avoid that disaster!   When I was done it didn't take much for him to get the hell out of Dodge!!! 

In the end I think I am the one that got the bath more than the dogs did!!  Hope you all have a great day!

I just use the garden hose and do them outside- of course, only on hot days.

I've never attempted to bath Notshy.......in the summer I take her to the dugout and let her swim it off. Kits has been dumped in the bath tub and showered off though and she ALWAYS gets even by shaking herself all over the house if she can get away from me.

LOL...I can just picture the whole thing......we wash the dogs when we wash the trucks....just line them up and grab a dog while we're are it.
