A Vlad in the tub!!!!
DH is normally the doggie washer, and was going to give Vlad a bath this weekend, as he seems to be extra smelly this past week. I don't think I've given him a bath since he was baby, and he's about 11 months old now and somewhere between 50-55lbs. Not the biggest dog in the world, but he is ALL legs.
So, I was off work early today, and didn't have enough time to workout before picking up DS, so I figured I'd give the dogger his bath. He isn't the worst bather ever, he just stands there and looks miserable, but he is quite possible the worst getter-in-the-tub ever!! I took his bandana and flea collar off, he doesn't wear a real collar in the house. He figured out what was going on when I gathered up the supplies, and goes to hide under the kitchen table, tucking all 12 miles of his legs underneath him. There is nothing to grab on to, and the kitchen floor is slippery. I manage to get the body of the dog, and scoot him out from under the table, but I lose him when I am trying to stand up and off he goes into the living room. I finally get him backed into the bathroom and close the door. When I am finally able to pick him up, he does a Go Go Gadget! with his legs and shoots them in every which direction. Seems like everytime I got part of him in the tub, another part popped out. With Spyro, all I had to do was point to the tub, and he hopped in!!
So, my dogger is finally freshly washed, he stood still and miserable for the washing, and smells like vanilla oatmeal. I, however, smell like wet, smelly dog, and I need to go pick up DS and take him for a haircut. Hopefully, no one stands to close to me!
I think the doggie washing goes back to being DH's job.
