Woof Wednesday

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle.

So….guess what happened the other night?

No, I did not win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse and get a year of free Milk Bones.

No, Uncle Matt did not leave a full box of Cheez Its on the night stand with the lid open.

No, it was not another life lesson.

It was STUPID bath night!

I don’t get it! Baxter and I just had a bath at Christmas! Maybe there was another one. I kinda block them out.

I’ve told you before how I don’t understand bath night. It takes me a few months to work in this smell, and when I think I have it JUST right……..

She washes it off!

On top of that, I think she uses some sweet smelly stuff. Yuck!

I don’t fight it much anymore. Whenever Grammy used to take my collar off I would run and hide under the table. Now I just accept my fate. (The collar is a dead giveaway as she never takes it off for anything else.)

At least the water is warm and I get a good rub down after. Then, just when Grammy thinks I’m all done….. I shake and send water EVERYWHERE! Haha!

Uncle Matt made sure I didn’t get a chill.

Baxter takes forever to dry so he usually gives Grammy the silent treatment all night. In fact, I don’t think he completely dries off until the day before the next bath.

Baxter has a way of getting a little revenge actually. Being a long-haired Golden Retriever, once the bath is done the fur goes everywhere. That Roomba doesn’t know what she’s in for.

I guess that was our Presidents Day Bath. We usually get a bath when there’s a holiday like Christmas or Easter. Sometimes when something special is coming up but usually for a holiday.

I never realized the family made such a big deal about Presidents. Or maybe it’s for Leap Year? An early St. Pat’s?
