Honey Gets a Bath

We just gave Honey a bath…. We knew she needed one and we had purchased dog shampoo a while ago. Today was the day!!



We have 2 bathing options. Our main bathroom has a jetted tub which is deep. Difficult to lift a 30 pound dog out of and we knew she would be growing. Our master bath has a tiled shower with a short step up to get in – so that seemed like the ideal location. The shower head is detachable so getting her wet and rinsed SHOULD work. We had towels and I removed my jeans and socks and got in the shower with her (ahh the things we mom’s do). It took us a bit to figure out how to do this and Honey was not really happy about the entire thing. B poured shampoo into my hand after we wet her down and I lathered. Then I rinsed while he rubbed her to remove the soap. And we rinsed and rinsed. She was dirty! And after the first rinse she was OK with the bath but not really happy. I then gave her a squeeze up and down her body to get as much water off as I could and we both got towels and rubbed. And she wiggled and we rubbed and then she jumped out and shook. As she ran around the bedroom I wiped the floor and rinsed and cleaned the shower. All in all, it worked out. We then fed her (it was time) and took her out for a bathroom break (well worth the trip) and now she is chewing on one of her toys. We are pooped!
