Hey, whatever works, girl. When I had my border Collie, Heidi, she had a penchant for rolling in the neighbor's liquid manure and come home for a big hug from me. NOT! She detested bathing. Yeah, rolling in s**t was ok, getting sudsed in water wasn't. So I had to fill the wading pool in the garage and get in the pool w/her to bathe her. We gotta do what we gotta do.
