Bonzi's Bathing Blues

Bonzi loves his baths.  In the summer, Redbush takes him out on her lawn, and uses  numerous pails of water to bathe him while he enjoys being lathered with soap, then scrubbed, in between intervals of  soaking Redbush whenever he can sneak in a huge shake.  She will video this summer bathing episode when she gets a chance.  Redbush has another video of Bonzi's bath at the local "Suds and Tubs" last winter.  He usually sings in this case.  We're not sure whether he enjoys it, or whether he's hating the metal under his feet, or just because he's getting sprayed in choice areas.  Hope you can see and  enjoy the video!  Have a great rest of the week!

Hehehehehe - what a funny dog you have!
The Princess really hates having a bath, and she really needs one....one of these days!

(Happy! the video loaded on the second try!)
I think Bonzi's regretting that there's no room to move around and play.
Stony doesn't like the water part of the bath--he doesn't even like going outside in the rain--but he likes getting dried with the high velocity dryer. Not as much as he likes getting vacuumed, though. He inserts himself between me and the vacuum, just in case I didn't notice him.

He seemed a bit resigned to me.

He wasn't performing like he usually does, Bag Lady. He was the funnies when the camera man had the camera pointed at the floor and the ceiling. Drat! I always have a hard time keeping him at the back of the platform. He's not used to the spray getting in all his corners. Hehe! I wonder how princess would act in one of these tubs? She might surprise you and like it!

When he's out on the lawn, Solarity, I make him stand and he usually does quite well except for shaking and giving me a bath, too. Bonzi doesn't really like the dryer,and I have one especially for his dog shows. He loves to be vaccumed! That's too funny about Stony trying to get you to notice him. Hehehe!

Redbush said...

He usually is pretty good about his baths, Leah, although when he knows he has to climb up, or get lifted up on to the platform, he gets pretty stiff-legged. I don't think he likes the slipperiness of the tub.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to load! :-( I am glad the kitties are self-cleaning - that would be a nightmare!

Redbush said...

Sorry, Missicat! I'd love you to see it. It would be great if Bonzi was self-cleaning too, however, he's like us. If he doesn't get a bath once in a while, he smells. Hehe!

That's great.. a little off-key but hey.. he could be on Canine Idol!

Redbush said...

Love it, Hilary! A star is born! Hehe! I wish I had the camera handy when he starts his yodeling on the mat in the house sometimes, apparantly for no reason, or just wanting to vocalize. We laugh our guts out! Thanks for stopping!
