My Dog-gy Stinks, Literally.
Many are the posts where I complain and talk about how hard(ok, not that hard) is to have a hairy dog that you are not supposed to brush or comb his hair. I have to take 30-40 minutes of my day to groom him (twice as much as I dedicate to myself). He loves to roll over dry leaves, leaves that stick to his fur and lately is not a happy dog until he gets wet. I know I could change all this by not taking him to the park where the pond is and avoid all places with green and dirty, which I do when I have little time. However, now is getting really hot in here, low 100′s and he’s clearly feeling it, we go out and he would play a little but mostly lay down next to me, once I take him to the water and he refreshes he’s a different dog. I must admit I have a lot of fun watching get all dirty but once I get home and I smell that typical “wet dog” smell is not that funny, I open all the windows, remove all cushions from the sofa and p
ut the mattress against the wall(yeah, my place is a loft/duplex, so doors) and remove what I can from his fur since I can’t bath him everyday. He seems to enjoy the grooming time. It’s a big hassle but I don’t think it’ll be fair to keep him from what he enjoys and seems to make him a happy dog, also he works for that, he knows that after the morning run the water and mud are waiting for him.
He certainly looks like he’s had a great time
No doubt he had a blast.
He’s a beauty. My mom always said ‘sometimes, it hurts to be beautiful.’ LOL
Maybe he knows he will get a grooming if he rolls around in the dirt and that’s why he does it? =P
I think he does, the conniving beast!!!
Look at the innocent furry face . . . How could you ever try to convince us that cutie does anything wrong?!!!
xxxx
He spit on my foot yesterday, but I’ll get into the dirty details on a post.
Ha ha, I bet by the end of the summer you will like the smell of wet dog.
I sure hope so, or I’ll shave him lol.
He’s so cute! Glad he had such a ncie time– seems like seeing them that happy is worth a few too many bathtimes!
It’s funny to see how goes from 0 to 100 the minute he gets in the water, it wakes him up, we both have fun even tho later on I complain lol
Haha I love the way the stuff sticks to him. So once you pick it all out, have you ever tried waterless pet shampoo? We use it occasionally on the brown dawgs when they smell of ponds since we don’t really bathe them either.
We love being in our yard so we always bring some leaves or grass in with us. He looks like we do after a long play session outside.
Awww, so cute! I agree– it isn’t fun (esp for the nose) when they get dirty, but it’s well worth it to see how much fun they have
Thanks for liking the Yoga Dog Blog. We like you back. And yes, extremely cute dog, by the way.
