While most of us would love to spend a day being pampered with a good wash and set at the local spa, my four legged daughter disagrees. Not a fan of the bath this one. Normally I would just take her to the doggy wash, however, I chose to do it myself, on the cheap this time. It was quite easy, and for summertime baths, it seems like this will be our method from now on. It will save me about $100 a summer. So now that I'm more soaked than she is, and she doesn't look quite so mangy, with tufts of hair falling out all over her and my floor, I had to take a picture. She looks like a big black powder puff. Of course we didn't have any regular shampoo, no, this pooch got the good stuff..the Pantene shampoo AND conditioner. Now she's sitting by the sliding glass door looking out on our deck, the scene of the crime, and probably cussing me silently. After I go bathe myself (although if you saw me right now you'd argue that I had already done that....with clothes on...) I will conquer the canine manicure. She should be happy though, at least I didn't make her wear one of those doggie bandanas that she loves (read: loves so much that she shreds as soon as she can get her teeth on them) so much....
