Thanks for all the stories & suggestions. It's raining now
(supposed to rain all day) so I'll wait for the next sunny day
then re-read this thread to psych myself up for it.

Smokey just freaks out so bad when hit with the water, I
really dread the whole thing.I tried to remove the spray attachment from the hose but it seems to be stuck on. I'll
have to work on it because I think it might go a little easier
on him if it weren't a hard spray.Maggie just follows Smokey's
lead, so if I can get him done, she'll be easier to do.

ps. I read your thread Sammy & loved the pictures. The dogs
might not enjoy their baths, but they don't look too scared.
