Bear's First B-Word (Bath)

Sasha here.  Training has been going pretty well lately.  Bear is right on schedule in fact.  Since all of our training has left the pup rather on the dirty side.  The humans decided it was time to indogternate him with his first b-word (Bath).  Of course, Charlie and mes went to hiding just in case the humans had plans for us getting a b-word, too.  But, we escaped this time.  Apparently, they were all tuckered out after giving Bear his. heehee. 

Well, here is our young recruit getting his first b-word.  He did really well no whining or yapping.  He was kind of making us look bad for a while.  But, then the big hot air monster came out and boy did he carry on.  Charlie and I gave each other low paw fives for that one.  We did have to chuckle at how the tough little pup didn't like the hot air monster at all. But, he survived like we told him he woulds. 

Here are the pics of the yucky first b-word of Bear.

Here is him all fluffy again after the hot air monster.  You know I would never have guessed he was half a dog smaller when wet. heehee.

Times to gets dirty again with more squirrel pawtrol training sessions Bear.

How to punish your human for the B-word.

OK. Most folks know my human has a nasty habit of giving me the B-word (bath). I got one today and I didn't really need it. She said it was because I was going to the vet tomorrow for my shots. Really, vets have smelled dogs before and I am sure my aroma wasn't near as pungent as others. But, anyways, I think it was time to teach her a lesson since the shaking and completely soaking her and the bathroom with wet dog hair wasn't working. This is what I did and please, dogs out there feel free to use this technique to keep these humans from bathing us for no decent reason.

1.) After the bath, turn your back on the human that gave it to you.

2.) Give the human a brief glance and then turn your head and shut your eyes. As if to say, "Nope, still mad at you. I can't even look at you right now."

3.) After a period of time, turn to face them, but don't look them in the eye. This really lays on the guilt. Trust me on this one.

4.) After another wee bit of time, roll around on the carpet having the time of your life. It serves multiple purposes. One, it gets that arful doggy shampoo smell off. Plus, it helps get some of the remaining water, and it shows the human you can have a good time without her.



5.) When the human makes an attempt to join in on play, freeze. And don't play with her even if she sneaks in with a foot rub.

At this point the human usually takes a time out in another room, that is when you come in for her emotional weak spot.

6.) I forgives you now. Can I have some cheese, please!

Charlie and I went to the groomers.

First of all, I am mad at mommy for making them give me the b-word. Seriously, I have avoided it this long what was a bit longer right. Nope, Mommy made them give me one and poor Charlie got the works. He wasn't happy with them at all.

I got a bath, brushing, pedicure, teeth brushing, and ears cleaned. Charlie got a bath, shave, pedicure, teeth brushing, ears cleaned, and the dreaded Butt Squeeze! He was so mad at them for messing with his butt. I heard lots of grumpy old man snarling and cussing from my station.

I was very good girl, and they told mommy that I was, too. But, no treats when we I got home, and our toys were still drying. Can you believe Mommy gave our toys a bath while we were gone and our blankets? You know sometimes I think these humans just go a bit nuts with the cleaning sometimes.

Mommy says we might get something called pumpkin to help Charlie not to have to get butt squeezed, but not sure what that is about. I hope it is something yummy.

Well, off to nap under the fresh out of the dryer blankies. Bark at you all later.

More sneak peeks and got out of a bath today.

Sasha here. Mommy was all set to give Charlie and me a b-word (bath)today. But, I used my mind control to have Grandpa lose his magic plastic card that somehow gives you money and you can buy stuff with it. You see he really didn't lose it, but I made him think he did. He looked all through his wallet, and grandma looked through his wallet. All the humans were going crazy through the house looking for it. Then, a hour later almost dark, mommy had to look in Grandpa's wallet. Grandpa got mads at her and said we already looked there. But, she kept looking. She found it behind his driver's license. Apparently, my mind control doesn't work as well on Mommy. But, anyways, the humans were all so happy that they found the magic card that they totally forgot about the b-word for me and Charlie. Mommy just looked at me and said tomorrow. (But, we will see won't we.) heehee

I put some sneak peek pics of Mommy's new drawings on here. I included the ballerwieners that everyone wanted to see on the petsjubilee team. Well, nights all. I gots to go conspire with Charlie on tomorrow's plan for avoiding the b-word.

Mommy gave me a bath today.:(

Sasha here again,

Mommy gave me a bath today. I thought for sure she had forgotten all about that nasty b-word. Then, today, I followed her into the bathroom like I always do. She takes off my collar. No big deal. I thought ok were is the camera for my photo shoot. Then, I saw the doggy shampoo bottle. You know whoever thought puke green shampoo with the nasty medicated smell should have a happy dog on the bottle is just one sick puppy. Mommy got into the shower, and she called me. I knew what I was in for, but I came reluctantly. I waited shaking knowing the dreaded water was getting warmed up for me. I stood there bravely as she sprayed me with the evil shower spray hose thingy. I stayed still when she put the stinky green yucky smelling shampoo all in my fur. Then, when she was reaching for the hose again. I shook it all over. Fur and foam went everywhere. I got my revenge, and then I got drenched with the hose thingy again. All I can say to this torture is "Doxies don't get mad, we get even!". I gave mommy the pout face all night. If I think she has learned her lesson by bed time, I might snuggle with her then.

Oh, and on a side note. Thanks to all my voters for me in the photo contest. I am in first place barely. Keep the votes coming in with a unique name signature so they don't get deleted. I just might win this thing this time with all your help. I got my paws crossed. Doxie kisses to you all.
