Why is it why I bath the dog, I get more of a bath than him?

[NewThinkingChance40]

And I always need a shower to get clean from his bath?

1. We have three dogs.

I wear a raincoat and waterproof shoes! LOL

2. I prepare ahead with half a dozen beach towels handy

I throw them over him BEFORE he can shake when he comes out of the tub. He will shake then, with the towels draped over him. Then I rub him down with towels. I don't get too wet.

It's sure fun! He's very good, and I sing to him the whole time. And then he's HELLA frisky!

3. yeah mine shakes

during the bath lol

He is the only dog I have ever seen that doesn't like water.

4. I just get naked and take the dogs in the shower with me

One at a time, exchanging the clean ones with my wife. One of the dogs enjoys it a little too much (because she doesn't love me, she's in love with me), but overall it's much easier than the normal way. It's the same way we washed our actual, human child when she was a baby, too.

Of course, our dogs are little.

5. Oh so glad to hear someone else does this, I thought I was weird

Well I may still be weird for other reasons. We have always had large dogs and between trying to keep them in the tub to wash them and the actual washing...it's a losing battle to stay dry. Might as well commit to getting a shower too.

6. you have to bathe your dogs?

You have my deepest sympathy.

In summer, I throw frisbee into lake and dogs follow. Voila! bathed.

In winter, I throw tennis ball into snow bank and dogs follow. Voila! bathed. There is nothing like the fresh air fragrance of a snow-bathed dog!

7. My dog runs and hides if I even touch the shampoo bottle

He fights me every step of the way and I always end up wet too.
No solution here, just letting you know I am with ya

8. Just washed the chihuahua in the kitchen sink

I got soaked! But she smells like a petunia!
