Another plus of summer? Not spending $32 to wash two dogs at a self serve place and being able to do it out back whenever we want! Our girls have always loved baths and I'm less annoyed by them when they smell fresh, but I've always worried about giving Bailey
dead tail again.
(If you've never heard of that, read up, it's a real thing!)
With the temps in the high 80's , we knew it was safe to give them a bath despite the cold hose water. Drew was such a good help this time and did a great job scrubbing and drying them off.
The best part of dog baths outside? They can shake to their heart's content and we don't get soaked!
Fun for the whole family :)
ReplyDeletehuh, never heard of dead tail...but then again we're in FL. I wish mine liked baths! Aria really likes to help too though, but it gives me a thigh work out because I hold them between my legs so I can use both hands to scrub. Aria helps lather em up though! I didn't realize it would be something I could do when she was awake, so I wasted many a nap time giving the pups a bath.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!!! I like dogs, but I am not a fan of stinky dog. My one friend has the stinkiest dog on the planet. Although she's sweet and cuddly, I can't inhale when I'm near her. It's probably why I won't get a dog until my kids beg me for one. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of "Dead Tail" before! Good info to have. Wonder if we've ever caused this with Drake??
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky the girls like baths. Drake HAAAAATES them!
I've never heard of dead tail! It's crazy the things you find out as a pet owner!!
ReplyDeleteI have been washing the dogs outside, too! It's so nice to not have to spend the money for someone else to do what you can do at home!
ReplyDeleteI honestly have never thought about giving our dog a bath outside! duh. I've also never heard of dead tail- wth?
ReplyDeleteCute pups! Just found your blog and looking forward to seeing more! :)

I bet Drew had fun helping and playing in the water!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of dead tail. Crazy!! That's so cute that Drew likes to help with the dog washing.
ReplyDeleteDrew looks like a real pro :)
ReplyDeleteCute pics!! I've never heard of dead tail. One more reason I'm not qualified to be a dog owner! That and the walking them every day all winter thing.
ReplyDeleteAhh I am so doing this today! Now that our house is on the market, we need to be bathing our big dog more often and brushing him every day. Chloe would love to help too!
ReplyDeleteAww too cute! I have to go to the groomer with my dog. He has this crazy curly hair, if I don't pay attention he gets hair like Bob Marley :)
