Another Bath

It started out as an ordinary Saturday morning.

Everything was going according to plan. My human guy had a bunch of new treats from the market and was working with me on the "down" and "stay" commands.

I was pretending I didn't quite understand. The conventional wisdom in puppy circles is not to learn too quickly. Because once you get good at whatever instruction they want you to learn the treats stop. Then you just get praise, like "good boy!" or "atta girl!"

Relaxing in the back yard on a nice warm morning.

After I finished milking all the treats I thought I could get from my owner guy I thought I would just go hang out in the back yard with mom and enjoy the beautiful morning watching her water her flowers. But she had a dish pan and some soap too. Strange. She never puts soap on the flowers.

Then it happened! Her attention turned to me. And she said.......

There must be a mistake! The cats! Why don't the cats get a bath?

"Cooper. Time for a bath."

But I just had a bath two weeks ago. Check my blog post Emergency Bath. Don't you remember? I didn't even roll in anything. What is the point of not rolling in really good stuff if you are just going to have to get a bath anyway? 

What a way to ruin a good morning. 

You never know what a day will bring.

Emergency Bath

Mom didn't take me for my walk on the leash this morning. So when she wasn't watching I decided to go for a morning roll. I found something really really really smelly out in the yard over toward the woods. It was great.

Mom didn't appreciate it as much as I did. I wanted her to roll in it too but she seemed grossed out and made me take an emergency bath. I am not sure what it was but my man human said whatever it was it made the turkey poop smell like roses.

I didn't really enjoy the bath much at all but it was over rather quickly. And getting dried off with a towel was quite fun. My college age girl owner is home so she helped. I was the center of attention.

          

Boy am I glad that bath is over with

After it was over she played with me and I got to sit in her lap for a long time. Laps are my favorite places to be. I like being the center of attention.

Hey, you can read my name tag! Now if she would just do my nails.
