One of the worst jobs ever!!!!!

Bathing my dog! Yuck! This weekend I did two dogs. Even though we take our dog to the groomer...he needs to be bathed in between times.
THANK GOODNESS THESE DOGS DON'T SHED!!!
I don't like cleaning up wet human hair in the bathroom, much less dog hair!
It's not the actual bathing, drying, & brushing I don't like....
It's the wet dog smell...
Times like "bathing" I wonder what in the heck I was thinking when we got our dog!
Then theres the after bath work....
Sanitizing and cleaning everything, which always leads to washing the clothes I was wearing, bathing myself because I feel like I smell like wet dog, washing all of his bedding, mopping my floor...Phew, what a job!

Then you see your kids playing with him (and at times laughing their heads off because he did something funny).
It has given my kids responsibility in taking care of him.
He gets excited when we come home and he jumps up and turns around at the same time.
He will play tag with my boys around our living room.
He loves to play keep away.
He is gentle with Kayla.
He can be so dang cute at times.

So, I am a dog lover...but let me just say that they are a lot of work, and if you are ever thinking of getting one, you have to be willing to take the bad with the good.

The Lion look....

Chad thought it was pretty cool I gave him this new hairstyle!

All clean....This was the best picture I could get. For some reason the camera got him excited and all he wanted to do was jump. Fur is so soft, and he smells good after his bath.



Before bath.....


All Clean! The picture doesn't do her justice. This is my sisters dog (Daisy Bell), we are watching her while my parents and sister are in Hawaii. She is the best dog. Like my dog she doesn't shed. Unlike my dog I trust her with the whole potty training thing. She will just stand by the door if she needs to go out. She sleeps in the Boy's room in her kennel. One morning I came in and Chad was reading her a book...too cute! She minds so good.
