A Call For Humor!

This was a stand-up comedy every time with my dog. Him jumping into the lake = OK, but try to bathe him LOL.
The only OK(ish) way was to have a full bathtube first and drop him in. Once he was wet, all was good though.

Bold to do that without two layers of denim and some snakebite-proof boots!

It's the way rich folk induce type 1 bipolar for kicks. Can't exactly call them cheap thrills though:

These is cheap thrills:

Wow.

I wonder about those dogs that enjoy the garden hose, like this one

How do they feel about being given a shampoo and rinse?

Depends on the dog, some can't have enough water play, some don't like it.
My general observation is, as long as they decide themselves, all is well.
Shampoo seemed not to make much difference.

Oh, and a dog is usually very social - when he comes out of the water, he will position himself so, that everybody gets their fair share of the water he shrugs off

Exactly our observation. Lucy loves to go to and into the water. She doesn't like water that comes at her. I think that's the more common case.

These dogs that love having the hose shot at them are more unusual. I'd love to know how they take to being put in the bath tub and getting the shower shot at them.

That's where you use your well-rehearsed the "don't shake" cued behavior. :p

So when Lucy was young I taught her the "under!" move where she comes to me, does a 180 around my right leg, and sits between my legs. Cute trick in its own right but nice for putting on a leash and stuff. I started to use it as a starting position for fetch too. Start with under, then I throw the toy and she's got to wait for my cue before going for it. Didn't I feel clever and proud of my dog?! Until...

Lucy learned to swim and decided being a water retriever was her life's calling. In all weather. She was so used to doing the under to set up the next throw that I couldn't stop her doing it even in winter and my trousers get soaked and it's freezing.

Sharing is caring.

Lived through that exact pain when I lived in the east bay and later Devils Slide collapse where my 25 mile ride into the City became a nightmarishly slow 90 mile round trip with many other "Coastside " commuters for close to a year. Books on tape was my savior.

Fake photo, there is no blood streaming from those legs

My brain just broke.
(admittedly a low bar... but, hey, it's a Friday. I was told there wouldn't be any math)

Does this help

Did he really say that? Somehow, I'm having trouble unscrambling it.

There is nothing to unscramble, that's why

*Some renters say their landlords have started putting "no-sex clauses" in their rental contracts. Even more surprising is that it might be legal.

How do they monitor compliance or lack of compliance?
