We had a bath today!
All the dogs are quite good about baths and especially on a particularly hot day like today, I think they quite enjoyed it. I don't bathe them really often, maybe about every two months or when Lilly has rolled in something really stinky! We brush first to get rid of all the loose hair. I then use a curry comb(actually made for horses) to rub the shampoo into a good lather. This also loosens more hair and gives them a great massage which they REALLY like. I use a whitening shampoo on Lilly and regular on the other two. We then towel dry. They love drying also. As soon as I say, "OK, let's dry", they're all shoving each other to be first. After that, I put on Show Sheen. This product is actually made for horses and I'm sure there's something similar for dogs but my background is horses so that's what I use. It's makes their coat VERY slick and shiny and also helps to repel dust and dirt. Plus, it smells good! After bathtime is treat time!
Roxy's looking for hers here. "Is it up there Mom?"
"We think we should get extra for our excellent "down, stay"!
Lilly has gone and rubbed her nose in the plants AGAIN and gotten dirty already! I had to wash her face yet again. Silly little slob that she is....
You guys look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood job Lilly! Who doesn't enjoy playing in dirt?!

Dear PR Gang,
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely posing! You all look so fresh and so clean!
I quite like the Lilly's dirty nose. I think the dirt looks very nice against her clean white facial furs. I'll have to try that sometime! Thanks for the fashion tip, Lilly!
smooches,

Ohhhhh....how can you guys like baths?? I HATE it!!! Although I have to say, the way your human describes it, it sounds quite nice - almost like a visit to a spa!¬ maybe if your human was washing me, I'd like it too - my human just washes me like I'm a small car! Humph!

BARK! We love bath time too. We stand perfectly still while mommy rubs and rubs us. The rubs feel so good. She is extra careful not to put water in our face, but she rubs around it. Then we get to get water all over us, and more rubs. All the rubs, it is heaven! After the spray of water, she tells us "SHAKE SHAKE" and mommy does the shake dance with us and laughs and laughs. She thinks it is funny how our shake ends at the tip of our tail. Then she puts a towel all over us and rubs again. Bathtime is FUN! BARK!
