Bath Time

I gave Sookie a bath tonight, which she was not very happy about. She is not really one for being put in a tub and having water poured down all over her. I tried to get a decent picture of her in there, but she wanted to get out of the tub so badly and was moving around so much that this was the best I could do:

 

 

When she gets a bath she has to have a prescription shampoo rubbed onto her skin that helps to get rid of her acne. It has to be left on her for around ten minutes, so her bath lasts a bit longer than a normal dog's which of course does not help matters at all. Sookie has to stay in the bathroom while the shampoo sets into her skin as she'll rub the shampoo all over the carpet and furniture if I let her roam around. She dislikes this just as much as the bath itself- actually probably even more.

 

"When can I get out of here, mom??"

 



However, once I let her out the door after I've washed off the shampoo and dried her, she gets so excited and just goes insane! Here is the video I captured of her on the bed right after she was finished her bath (Sorry for the loud singing in the background, I think The Voice was on the TV at the time):

 

 

 

Wordy Wednesday

 

Sherbet was finally neutered several days ago, but you would never be able to tell that he recently had surgery just by looking at him. We thought that once he was neutered he would not act as crazy and try to attack play with people so much, but that theory died immediately when my brother brought him to our house yesterday (which was our first time seeing him after his surgery). I've already received a few bite marks on my hands and arms, but none that have broken skin- YET.

 

Despite his sometimes psychotic behavior we did miss him terribly while he was gone, though, as he brings a lot of laughter and fun to our home. In the pictures below, he is being his usual entertaining little self and demonstrating how to play with a toy mouse in a step-by-step fashion.

 

 

 

 

 

Step one: Find a toy.

 

 

 

Step two: Focus on the toy and reach out for it.

 

 

 

Step three: Grab the toy and look around to make sure no one is going to steal it from you.

 

 

 

Step four: Kill it!
