Poor Merlin, we have to bath Tawny on the deck with buckets of water, no hose, oh no the horrible hissy thing. Merlin looks so sad, but the after effect are always fun, a little bum tuck running to dry off is usually really fun. Has Merlin been to a lake yet, I can't remember. No bath for Tawny but give me a lake and try and get me out. Its the rubbing on the ground afterwards that doesn't help. So its usually bath time when we home from the cottage.
