OK, I admit it, I do not bathe the dogs as often as I should. First reason: Kooper hates it! Second reason: Idiot laps. Let’s address the first issue. Kooper is a male of little complexity. He pretends to be excited for a bath because he knows he gets a treat after. If only he understood that he gets a treat for far less than being cooperative in the tub! Because he works for a treat, he goes second in the lineup. Jinx, on the complete other hand, loves bath time. This female loves the exfoliating scrub she gets with luke warm water. She gets a far longer bath than her temperamental brother. She could care less than the ‘reward’ of a stale treat at the end! After bath time it never fails- idiot laps!! I don’t know what being wet does to a dog, but the kids act crazy!! I always bathe them in Scotty’s shower for many reasons- sorry babe! One of the reasons is that they can’t hurt anything. Well, yesterday the room was painted and I was a little concerned about them bouncing off walls. So, I brought up the baby gate and closed the bedroom door. For those that don’t know our mansion, that left them about a 2 by 5 ft hallway to work with! They were not happy with this but still managed to wrestle! I decided to rinse the bathtub- don’t worry Scotty, Eldoia will be here again before you come home!- and then bathe myself! I was honestly surprised as to how dirty the kids were. Lesson for the day: don’t wait months between pug baths!!
