Bath time

Missy and Daisy had been scratching like crazy.  I know they don't have fleas.  I check them all the time. However, they were dirty.  So last night, I had a brain storm.  I usually bathe them outside because, well, Missy is around 70 pounds and Daisy is around 50 pounds.  So I decided to put them in the bathtub.  That was a trip.  Missy had never been in the bathtub and kept trying to get out.  By the time I had her bathed, I was soaked, the floor looked like a pipe had burst and I had three towels in the floor.  But she was clean.

Next I hauled Daisy into the bathroom.  Out came more towels.  I figured why clean up until I finished with both dogs.  Daisy was a little better than Missy.  She didn't try as hard to get out.  I got Daisy bathed, hauled her out and dried her off.  Now I just had to clean the bathtub, bathroom floor, vanity sides and front, walls, and door.  Both dogs shook the excess water off that I  could not get with the towels. So, 6 towels down, an hour of cleaning, and I'm done till tomorrow when I wash the towels.  Fast forward and it is tomorrow.  the dogs are really feeling good.  No scratching.  They are sleeping like babies.  Now all I have to do is wash the towels.  My solar clothes dryer works great in this Texas heat.
