Bath Time!

We only give our dogs baths in the warmer Spring/Summer months, so between those times they can get just a little smelly. In fact, none of the dogs had been given a bath since last August, and Pip had never even had a bath at all! The next two weeks are to be warm and sunny, so giving the dogs a bath while the sun shines was on the top of my agenda.

Sheila was up first, and as soon as she saw the quad parked next to the house, she knew what was happening.

Something wet.

Sheila hates all aspects of this job - can you tell?

That's one clean dog (for now)!

Next, it was Pip's turn. This was her first bath so I was very careful not to cause her to be any more scared than she already was after the first rinse.

She attempted an escape!

But she didn't mind the shampoo as much.

But with the final rinse, she looked terribly unhappy.

(I think that photo's kinda freaky. Her head looks massive.)

Then it was Kim's turn. She's the best at standing to get washed and behaves very well.

She was very good at getting wet.

Soaped up...

And rinsed off.

She's actually looking at the sheep in the field. That kept her entertained!

Last but not least was Ben. He was also very good. He was the dirtiest too.

Such a sad (but clean) boy...

A brush and a blow-dry later, Pip looked stunning.

That leaves four clean dogs, fit for cuddles!

And this morning, I found a dog licence for Jack. It finally reveals his birthday - October 2nd. I look forward to it...
