    So, do your dogs LIKE baths??

    Abby barely lets me get any water in the tub before she diceides it's time to get in there!! The minute she hears water running she comes snooping, whether it's meant for her or not & should I decide I'd like a soothing soak in the tub myself, she's not amused, lol she thinks the tub is for her only! This picture is from yesterday's bath...


    Thanks vinjashira for the siggy

    Aw, how sweet!

    Blaze LOVES his baths too...actually, he loves baths, period! I think he's in love with water in general!


    Thanks Kay!!

    Isabel loves baths, too. She and I started taking bubble baths together early on. When I'm in a hurry she gets in the shower with me. I don't think she has ever had a bath alone.

    Now the kitten is starting to get in with me. LOL We're getting a tub full.

    That is so funny! Duke doesn't like them until after he's clean. Then, he runs like crazy. Before the bath, I get the pitiful eyes and he starts shaking all over.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Peej hates his baths so much that I quit giving them to him. He goes to the groomer and has for the last 5 years.

    Bailey will run and hide if she heard the bath water running. It doesn't even matter if it's for her!

    That's too cute. Give Abby some kisses from me.

    My three don't like them, but will tolerate them.

    Simba knows the command "Get in the tub", and he'll walk with his tail between his legs all the way down the hall and hop into the tub. All three are very good about staying during baths and with let you.

    I think it's a love/hate relationship because they love when I rub them down with the shampoo and conditioner. Afterwards, they get all insane and start playing pulling all of the toys out and having a big play hour. I think most dogs are normally like that after baths, however.


    It's weird that Kiara doesn't like her bath as she's insane over the pool, the beach, and any other water in general.

    That is so cute. I had never heard of a dog that likes baths before, either. Ginger will tolerate a bath, but that is all.

    Jack LOVES baths and if he hears the tub/shower running he hops right in! The rest will tolerate it, Shadow hates water in general and won't even go outside if she has to walk by the hose !

    Lady HATES baths. All I have to do is take her collar off and if I don't have a firm hand on her we have a disappearing dog. Hard for a 70 lb dog to hide, but she tries like heck.

    This makes it fun when she gets to engage in her favorite pasttime.......chasing skunks. Thankfully we haven't seen any around our new house. Where we used to live she'd tangle with skunks at least twice a year.
