Water + Shampoo + Tub = Not Our Friend
February 10th 2007
I really hate bath time.
Initially the Pungent-Male tried to lure me into the cold and small space with cheese. I like cheese – but even cheese is not good enough to make me go into the cold, wet place.

A fun Shiba bath in the great outdoors and based on a chasing game.
After the cheese strategy failed, the Pungent-One carried me in. Then, the Female-One came in and poured water all over me!!
She is not very nice today.

Dogs baths are much more bearable in the great outdoors.
Then, there was white funny smelling stuff, and more water, and I don’t know what else because I must have passed out from the sheer awfulness of the experience.
At the end, I remembered shaking water all over the male and female – they deserve it!!
Shiba Wisdom
It is scary to have water and funny smelling white stuff put on you in a confined space.
Maybe 2-legs should consider doing this in a larger, more open, space?! As you can see from the pictures, I’m fine playing water chase games and don’t mind having a bath as a side effect.

A dog bath is more fun while playing water chase games.
