Our dog, Reilly, has been a little mopey lately. Today I realized that it had been a while since he's had a bath, like about 2 weeks. We've just been so busy lately, I don't think any of us thought to give him a bath. Also, since he spent some time outside today, he was a bit dirty. And he got into some burrs and pickers, just a little, not like tons of them. So I got all of those off from him and gave him a nice, long bath. He never fights us about a bath, but he doesn't usually seem to enjoy it, more like he tolerates it with good manners -- but today he leaped into the tub. I could tell by the look on his face that he was actually looking forward to the bath.
I know how he feels -- after working outside on a hot day and getting all dirty and sweaty and yukky, a nice hot shower just feels soooooo good, and it's wonderful to be all nice and clean and fresh afterwards, and to put on nice, comfy clean clothes and sit on your butt on the sofa. Feeling clean and good and justified to do nothing but relax.
And now Reilly smells so good and looks so good, and he's in a really good mood.
