Wet Dog


Towards the end of last week Abby rolled in something that smelled very badly. Yuck. She needed to have a bath! Luckily our daughter is good at taking care of all animals. Here you see her outside (in light snow) bathing her with warm water that I handed her in soda bottles!! Well...you have to do what you have to do!!
Ende letzter Woche hat sich Abby in etwas sehr stinkigem gewaelzt!! Eklig. Sie musste unbedingt gebadet werden. Zum Glueck kann unsere Tochter gut mit allen Tieren umgehen. Hier seht ihr sie wie sie draussen (es hatte leicht geschneit) an der Arbeit ist. Ich hatte ihr warmes Wasser in gr. Colaflaschen gereicht. Tja, was kann man halt machen!!

Brrrr! Reminds me of camping in October years ago. The showers were rigged to turn off if you let go of the string and there was no way to wash and hold the string too. The cold wind would blow in the upper windows and we would freeze! That was one shower I'll never forget! Poor Abby, I hope she learned her lesson.

Oh. Wow. I hope he got dry. Maybe a skunk sprayed him

How cute! You take such good care of all of your animals. They are lucky to have such a good home!

Avant j'avais un chien (un cocker) , pour le laver il fallait s'y mettre à quatre, sinon c'était totalement impossible ;o)

Before I had a dog (a cocker) for the wash was to be put to four, otherwise it was totally impossible ;o)

I love that photo, it's full of interest and story and colour. Great.

That's good that it was warm water! It would have sucked if it was cold!

Das war bestimmt eine Menge Arbeit, den Hund mit den kleinen Wassermengen wieder sauber zu kriegen - aber bestimmt besser, als den Gestank im Haus zu haben!
Hat Abby denn still gehalten? Unser Hund war nie begeistert, wenn er baden musste.
LG, Monika

What a picture to treasure!

Brrr! She looks cold, but cute! I hope she learned her lesson too, but she probably just wondered why Melissa washed all her lovely perfume off.

Woof!

My dog hates having a bath, it's the getting undressed he does not like!

i am off to bed now, goodnight over there!

Yup, she definitely needed that bath! She hates bathes, though. When we first got her she flipped out at the water. She still hates them, but it's not as bad....
My toes were cold, I'll say that! :-)

Sherman had a bath for the exact same reason a few nights ago.

There is nothing like bathing a dog.

I hate it when they do that!
my mom washed me in the bath tub.... I was NOT happy! I liked how I smelled... why else would I roll in it? they put that perfum stuff on.... we don't bathe them do we!

Poor doggy, I'll bet that was a cold ordeal. That's good of your girl to do that, I doubt I could have gotten mine to do that.
