Gave the dog a bath
The dog smelled (since he tossed his cookies on the way to SchH training Sunday) so I had to give in and give him a bath.
Isaac doesn’t like bathing (and hasn’t since day 1). He finally reached the point where he would let me squirt him with the hose, suds him up, and then rinse him off in the driveway (though he was never too thrilled). All reached a point means is he didn’t screech and howl like he was being skinned alive. Yes I know the garden hose is cold, but it’s not the cold water that bothers him. Squirting without the ‘bathing’ part and he’s OK, and there is even more of an adverse reaction to the bathtub (yes I put a towel down on the bottom of the tub so he isn’t sliding all over the place).
Since it’s cold out we had to bring the bathing to the bath tub (haven’t done that since I rinsed the green tattoo ink out of his ear). All I can say is that it was a lot of wrestling to get him to stay put and after 15 minutes he gave in and stood there. There was a lot of water on the floor and walls and he howled and screeched for the first 15 minutes. He finally became 80% compliant and was soaped and rinsed. He is a stubborn little bastard…
Then it was off to his dog room for the BLOW OUT….I left the blower outside the room and just slid the hose through the cracked door. He wasn’t too happy, but I was able to blow all the water and a lot of the loose hair out of his coat. He doesn’t smell like vomit any longer. He also looks about 15 pounds heavier with his fur all poofed out….
