A few bath day photos

[K9soul]

I don't mean to overwhelm with more pictures but I have a few cute ones from today when the pups got a bath I thought I'd share. Here they are! Tasha went first.

LOL, he was rubbing his face on the grass and then just overshot himself and flipped his whole body over.

LOL!!! what great pictures!!! Looks like they had fun! Thanks for sharing!

[Holly's mom]

Cute!! I've never given Holly a bath outside, usually inside in the bathtub. I wonder how she would like that outside, or if the water from the hose would be too cold for her. It sure would be much easier outside, that way I wouldn't have to clean out the tub afterwards.

I loved your pictures, your dogs are beautiful and the flowers in the background of that one of Tasha are gorgeous!!! And Tommy and his log continue to crack me up, it's so cute!!
:)

They sure do have their "apres bain" routines down pat, don't they Jess???:D I love the shot of Tasha you mentioned...awww, what a sweet face:) And Tommy, you had me worried there for a minute!:) Glad to see your log safely back in your mouth!;) Great shots Jess!:)

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Awwww, it's been awhile since you've posted pictures. :)

What cuties! LOL, Tommy with his log cracks me up everytime. What a handsome boy. :D Tasha, is of course, beautiful as always.

[RobiLee]

Aww, Jess, you captured bath time just perfectly. You put a big ol smile on my face :D

They are so precious and their bath time antics really gave me a chuckle.

Robin :)

I love the one with Tommy flipping over!!!
Great Action Shots!!!

[dukedogsmom]

What great pics! I love the closeup of Tasha running. She is such a sweet dog. Tommy with his logs.........what a character! That thing is huge. I would love to take a trip across the U.S. and stop at all the PT dog's houses. What fun that would be. I would dearly love to see yours in "furson"

[K9soul]

Thanks all! They were so good for their baths :). Holly's mom, what I generally do is wait for a day when it's around 80 degrees at least, wait till about midday. The hose was in the sun so much by that time that the water coming out was warm, but not hot. I did Tasha first because she gets cold easier. By the time I did Tommy the water was starting to feel pretty cold but he seems unfazed by that and he was also panting by then from being in the sun running around while I bathed Tasha. I think sporting breeds that have a heritage of swimming in creeks and lakes seem to have a higher tolerance for cold water too. As long as it's around 80 with sun shining they've never shown any signs of getting cold with an outdoor bath, and I find it much easier than doing it in the tub!

Val, that log he has in these pictures is that same huge one that I posted about before. What is funny is David decided that was just too much, and he took it back to the wood pile and put a couple other logs on top of it, left Tommy's smaller logs by the house. Well Tommy wasn't satisfied with that, a few days later out to the woodpile he went and pawed the other logs away and picked up his humongous one again and brought it back up to the house. Even though he has to work to pick that huge thing up, sometimes dropping it a few times before he gets a good grip, that is his log of choice. :p

Glad you all enjoyed the pictures! :D

Hehe no, he always brings them all the way up to the door, but he knows when the door opens he has to drop it :D. I can always tell when he REALLY wants to go inside, because he will go stand in front of the door and put his log down and look at me. :p

Oh I love this pic:

That Tommy kills me with that log. You gotta send him over to play with Oz and Gully. They would just love him.

aw. the photos are sooo cute! Tommy is hilarious :D.. they look like they did good for their baths. Gonzo runs straight to the dirt when we wash him outside, so I usually have to take him to this self dog washing place, Launder Dog, downtown.
