All the rain has turned our back yard into a mud pit. I am so sick of mud. Because of the condition of the yard, the pups haven’t had a lot of outside playtime. However, the weather has been pretty the last two days so Jason decided to let them run free for a while. This meant that they came straight in the house and into the tub. Giving little Prissy a bath has never been hard but bathing Ann has proven to be an adventure in the past. Ann's puppy stage was hard. She would get so keyed up that she would act like an absolute idiot. We had never had a puppy before. When we adopted Prissy she was over a year old. Yes puppies are cute, but they will make you crazy. There were many times that Jason and I contemplated giving Ann away. Often this discussion was after bath time. She would squirm, wiggle and shake the entire time. The last time we gave her a bath inside (in the summer we would bath her in the yard with the hose) Jason had to get in the tub with her. Which was hilarious, but not fun for Jason. This time around, she was golden. She let Jason scrub her down and then patiently waited while Jason rinsed Prissy. She didn’t try to escape and she didn’t even shake. Her behavior was a shocking and pleasant surprise. I must admit, I am glad we stuck it out with Ann. She is growing up to be a very sweet and well behaved dog. Congratulations Ann, we are going to keep you!
Just for kicks, here are some individual shots of the girls during the bath time extravaganza!
