So ... Saturday, we had one of those powerful storms barrel through and Mom said, "Oh, DAVY!" and called me into the bathroom. And then ... that's right -- I got to have a bath!
Oh, I know what you're thinking! Or at least I know what Ammy was thinking from under the dining room table. "Baths are evil." Well... yeah... but they also kinda feel good. And afterwards, you get to go hang out on the deck to dry off!
"Wait ... Is this a good thing?"
It's great! Mom brought fluffy towels out and her iPhone (so she could take my picture!) and the birds were singing and it was cool & breezy and everything!
Me. Dave. Drying off on the deck.
Do I look fluffy? Mom kept calling me "Count Fluffula". And here's the best part of the fluff cycle:
The After-bath aftermath.
While Mom fluffs and dries me, I get to snuggle! If you look closely, you'll note I'm laying on top of Mom's leg. That's the BEST!
Zim and the girls haven't had baths yet. By the time I was dry, it was really too hot for deck-drying time, so they didn't get to have turns. They seem happy about that... and Storm keeps calling me "LabraDave" under her breath. Ha woo. I know she's just kidding and loves me. And she doesn't have to worry -- Mom said the rest of the pack will get turns REAL soon! I wonder if I'll get to go again?
Luv,
Dave
awww cuddles on a warm deck! Looks nice! hopefully the sun will come back to Seattle some time soon so Darwin can get a bath and outdoor drying time!
ReplyDeleteMom keeps mentioning in to dad that I need a bath too. Luckily, he's been kinda busy, so I haven't gotten one yet!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous though! Even wet!
Holly
Nothing better than laying on the deck! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteDave, you are gorgeous sweetheart and you look so happy cuddling with Mom in the sunbeams on the deck...Happy week friends...kisses x3...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteYou look so handsome all cleaned up. I bet you smell good to. xoxo Sagira
ReplyDeleteYepper the cuddling is definitely the best part of bathes.. We do enjoy the zoomies around the yard too, but don't roll in the dirt or Mom will hose you AGAIN...

Goodness Dave, you have practically convinced us that we should have a bath!
ReplyDeleteYou do seem to be enjoying your cuddle time and you will be smelling delightful to your mom but not of course to other dogs.
We were at the Vet today with Martha for her check up - what a fuss she made!
Anyways there were two puppies there and one was siberian husky - gorgeous!
Even cuter in real life!
Go forth Dave and look for something stinky to roll in so you can hold your head high in dogland!
love and kisses
Martha and Bailey xxx
We are so happee we rarely get those booms. They scare us. Hope there are no more little or big storms
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Dave, we love you, really, but you are not normal. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteDave, you are the consumate gentleman, and obviously a fantastic snuggler!
ReplyDeleteDelta and I still need convincing that baths aren't incredibly scaaarrreee!
your pals,
Digby and DelDel
Dave, It was nice of you to go first in the bath line up. Im sure the pack appreciated it. I hope you find cooler temperatures soon.

Zimmie, Ams, Stormy, if you need to hide, come to my house. There are no baths here.
ReplyDeleteHuffs
Woo look mahvelous, Dave! But we'll just enjoy "bath day" vicariously thru woo, if woo don't mind.
ReplyDeletejack a-roo & miss moo

Da best part I like is when may uses the blower and brush on me. I loves to git brushed.
Happy snugglin' wid your maw!
Husky kisses,

Dave, you are such a handsome boy! I don't like baths at all and I let everyone in a 100 mile radius that I'm being tortured by water when I have to get a bath. Okay, it does feel good afterwards but I still don't like it.
ReplyDeleteSadie
Oh Dave...we got baths today too...Jacob like baths too!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys and Snuggles,
Dory, Bilbo and Jacob
Wow, Dave - you actually LIKE baths?!
ReplyDeleteHey, you know, back in Auckland, I had a Siberian Husky friend who told me that his humans only gave him baths once in a long while coz your coats take SO long to dry off (like hours and hours) - they had to even do him with a hair dryer! Coz Auckland is so cold & wet in winter...is this true? (not the Auckland bit, the husky coat bit!)
Slobbers,

My back hurts after I'm done washing Sam and Monty and our temporary Yorkie houseguest - I don't think I could manage to wash all four at once!
ReplyDeleteSam
Hi, Dave!
ReplyDeleteSure you enjoyed the bath and the after-bath aftermath!
I had a bath yesterday... and I was very happy!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Wow you look like you're enjoying that bath. For me, baths are evil, and always will be. It's my weekly torture ritual, and I don't like it. Even if I'm allowed to jump and cuddle in my Humans' bed after my bath.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy it though, but it makes my furs stand.
Sonic
Nope, you're not convincing us! We're still passing on the baths, Dave! Nice try though!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Labradave! Hehehe! Yuh, PeeWee is always wet in the summer. I like the deck drying room. Much better than a blow dry.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,

That's a most interesting ritual, Dave!! The afterbath snuggling, almost makes it worth it!!
ReplyDeleteWoofs and Kisses!

Hi Dave! You are so handsome! :)
ReplyDelete*sigh* I got a bath on Sunday too. It wasn't fun. I cried a little, but all I did was jump on mom and it made her rush! :)
Mochi
Hey Davy!
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable even after a bath. I also enjoy baths and so does Frappie. We do live in a tropical country and getting baths on a warm day can be refreshing. The rest are like Ammy though.
Cuddles is the best! Weeeeee Have fun.

hee hee... fresh-faced Dave :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks great to us!!! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
ReplyDeleteDave you are sooooo friggin cute! Jackal's favorite part of a bath (which he barely tolerates lol) is the drying off. It's a fun game!
