I spent yesterday really busy,cleaned the dog!  Well that took some doing as he is a large beast!  He is now a large clean smelling dog,strawberries actually.  I hope it doesn't affect him as he does smell just lovely,I'm sure to him it is not an improvement!!  I bought this all natural shampoo that when you use it on very dry natural curly hair has an interesting effect.  You get a mile of wild hair standing mostly straight out!!!  For hollowen it would be great,mad scientist or road kill,would work great! So I thought generously that it might work well on dog.  Well if you want to see a demoralized look...that was dog getting bathed. I use two really large red square bins on the deck,fill them with heated water and off we go scrubing the beast.  He tolerates it,escapes once out of the wash covered in strawberry suds and shakes it all over but dutifully gets back in.  When I think I can scrub no more I let him out to shake off and then he begrudgingly gets into the rinse bin!!  Haaa,haaa wash cycles for the dog.  But it is so hard to get his coat wet and extra hard to get the soap off!  It is surprising how much water he holds in his coat.  It was a bright sunny day and when he shakes off the water you see how much and how far it covers!!  He was still wet into the evening.  Now instead of stinking greasy dog we have sofl billowy fluffy dog scenting the air with strawberries which is far better than what he usually scents the air with.  So now I have big strawberry fluffs of fur every where. Like little animals they are tumbling down the stairs and blowing across the rug! I awoke this morning to find then everywhere even on the bed in Janice and Steve's room and on Jess' bed.  He decided I'm sure seeing I took the liberty of destinking him he was going to take the liberty to sleep were he knew he shouldn't!!!  So off he goes now with Hubby for the morning trekk that Steve took with them and I just hope the other dogs don't make fun of his newly aquired scent.  Us Mother's do worry about peer pressure!

Re: Monday

Did you end up wet and strawberry smelling too? hehehe Whenever we used to wash the dog it was quite a production number. Then the dog would run crazy rings in the backyard and roll in the grass. Oh that stinky human smell hehehehe

The bottles and nappy production line continues unabated LOL One good thing is that Jamie doesn't get to squirt at me anymore. I've worked out the boy changing ways hehehe Am managing a sleep when all the little ones nap. So quiet, so peaceful, so easy to sleep then too LOL

Am not wearing shorts! LOL

Hi Marg,

Washing the dog is one of my "to do" chores . .  Even though he is only a chihuahua he is a vicious little man in the bath . . I wonder how long your doggy will stay clean . . Mine has a BAD habit or rolling on everything after a bath, its very frustrating .

Cheers Kellz

Re: Monday

 I so wished  i was there to share Steve & my bed with my friend avro....oh the sweet smell of strawberries! More so i would have helped him to escape from having the dreaded bath,....have a smile on my  face because i can actually picture all the antics, of the bath routine & also who got the most water on them!!!!!

Even though you did the dreaded deed my friend, i'm certain avro is still wagging his tail & a clean one at that!!!!!!!!!!!!
