This thread brings up an interesting point. How much do we project personification on our animals? I know I do it all the time. I say that they are feeling such and such an emotion that in all reality they probably don't feel. Our animals are in the bathroom all the time when we shower (they like the soap suds from the peppermint soap) and neither one of us take bathes. I detest being confined to a bathtub. Most people find it relaxing...I find bathes to be extrodinarily irritating! lol As far as showering with them, I don't see why it would be a problem, even though, like I said earlier, they would probably favor root canal to being in the shower/tub.
