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.

Glad you all enjoyed the pictures!
