Other Half & I recovering after major event!

[pogmahog]

Well the OH and I are recovering, the big secret, the planning, the rehearsal all the necessary resources being gathered.


The planning went well,

The secret was kept,

The resources were gathered,

The concept went reasonably well but those were the easy bits then came the hard bit, of the operation...



Persuading the Great Dane he wanted to get in the bath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then it got hard!


Sealed off both ends of hall, only open door the BATHROOM!!!.


He entered and promptly laid down (as usual), 14 stone (85Kg) of horizontal Great Dane, has to be elevated into the bath!! It is like picking up a 4 foot long sausage, it tries to keep slipping out of your arms!


I get the rear in (he can't see where he is going), then lift the heavy front bit in, while she makes sure rear stays in!

Wetting dog, he quivers so piteously,

The shampooing he loves almost purring, when being massaged,

Then comes the rinse, by now he wants out so more probably water on us than him, he keeps leaning into us trying to get past us.

Finally rinsed let out of bath, then we have a shower (he shakes of surplus water)

Then rubbing down with towels he loves that.

It's just the bit in the bath that's the problem, he does not hate it, fight it, just passively resists!! Actually enjoys parts of it!

Oh dear only 6months to next one!!

my boxer and labradoddle started out like that. since then they have gotten better. you can still see it in their faces though. the labradoodle loves my wife's hairdryer. that son of a gun will sit there forever, if he hears it he comes a runing

Forget about this one getting in the tub, Its outside with the garden hose. Hes cool with the hose as long as its warm outside he just stands there until im done... Oh I'm talking about the black furry one

[pogmahog]

He's in for a shock next time!!


Buying a new house, its got a WET ROOM!!!

The only way I get mine in the tub...through his stomach! Bribing always helps...as there's no way I can lift either end of a 170lb Saint... but usually once he's in he's frozen and gives us that "oh-you're gonna get it when I'm outta here look" ... but it's not like he's not used to being wet all the time with the drooling...
