If only I was on my beach towel at the beach. Then I won’t be sporting this look on face, would I, human?
Donna doesn’t like to shower. She is appeased once she is let out of the shower cubicle.
We have got this routine going. Wipe dog with towel and let the damp pooch stay on the towel to dry off. It stops her from tracking wet paw prints all over the floor and splattering water all over the place. And is also a good excuse making sure I am consistent with working with her to learn to relax on the mat at the same time.
I can’t believe I let you give me a shower. Again.
She usually gets over it by the time she wakes up from her nap ;)

I don’t blame her! I love water and swimming, but no thank you to a bath! A rude dog torture ;) Happy b/w Sunday!

Donna has never gone swimming before… so I guess she is averse to all water!! Glad you enjoyed water and swimming ;) Next step, the bath!! Hahaha!

Oh SHOWERS are good. Sugar LOVES it:-) I bet you smell GOOD! Happy Black n White Sunday. Golden Woofs

She does!! Even though she doesn’t appreciate it :P

I agree with Emma! Swimming and playing in the river is great. Taking a shower just changes everything.
weliveinaflat
It’s a short lived pain though :P

A shower, how rude. But if you want snuggles, you have to smell good.
weliveinaflat
I raise I hands for the smell good for snuggles part… too bad Donna is not really a snuggle, cuddly dog. – –

I keep telling Mr. N if he wants fewer baths to come back in the next life as a short-haired, “wash and wear dog.” But if he does, he probably won’t be in our house because we don’t like dog hair lol.
weliveinaflat
Donna is wash and wear… and yes, a lot of dog hair – –
weggieboy
But it makes you look so fresh and pretty, Donna! And…you dry off fast enough!
weliveinaflat
Donna feels fresh without a bath ;)
Laika
Yikes I hate bath too. When mom go into the bathroom and call me, I run as fast as I can.
weliveinaflat
There is nowhere to run in our small flat! D: :P
Kyla
After one of those, I’m afraid to go into the bathroom for a week.
weliveinaflat
Yah I know the feeling..

Bentley loves his bath. He will fall asleep while getting blow dried. Even dogs that don’t enjoy the bath surely have to feel better cleaned up! He deserved some beach towel time now!!
weliveinaflat
Now if Donna was more like Bentley! ;)
Mel
Surely she does. :)
Love the pics. Do I sense a little bit of the dramatic flair in Donna?
weliveinaflat
OH she is perhaps a little bit dramatic when it comes to things she doesn’t like ;)
Sonel
heheheh! That looks so familiar. Simba doesn’t like bathtime either but Donna looks way cuter than he does. Great shots Mrs. P! :D
weliveinaflat
Perhaps Simba has more years to get used to baths than Donna :P and hence takes it in his stride? heehee.
Sonel
15 years of bathing experience to be exactly and every week – because of his problem skin but he is a good boy and listens to mommy. LOL!

Love the photos! Sadie won’t stay still enough for a photo after a shower. She runs around the house like crazy trying to get the water off.
weliveinaflat
I’ve read before that that is normal behaviour, some dogs like to zoomie around after a bath ;)
dollythedoxie
Dad took me in the shower recently, with a closed door to the bathroom I was trapped! Love Dolly
weliveinaflat
Same here!! But showers with Mr P are better than showers with her… Mr P likes to take things easy so the shower is faster but Donna does not smell as nice :P

You are too cute Donna!!!

Thank you, Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo ;)

Donna doesn’t look too traumatized. :)
weliveinaflat
She’s usually ok by the time we get to the drying off on the towel part :P

Donna is adorable!

Woof woof! :)
