Here I was trying to get Sam all spiffed up for today and tomorrow’s visits and look who came to his defense. Elsa laid on the floor in front of the tub the whole time I was bathing the long-suffering Sam. Do you think she’d be happy to take one for her brother? Yeah, me neither.
Live love, bark! 🐾
In my household, Portia would never take that particular bullet for Ottie….as much as she loves him. That is how much she hates to get wet.
Sam feels the same way. Extra attention notwithstanding. 😁
That is so sweet. ♥ The boys both wait for each other because they play a grand game of chase after they get cleaned up. BOL!
Dont you just love post-bath zoomies?!
Our Angel Greta would jump right in the tub when I was bathing the other two to keep them company. She loved water
hugs
Hazel & Mabel
Aww, that’s too sweet.
Elsa to the rescue. At least she tried, Sam, so you can’t be calling her a knucklehead anytime soon. Tippy sympathizes with you.
I think she thought she’d miss out on a few extra moments of attention. Silly girl.
BOL – that is so cute. We do that when Mom is brushing one of us – we just cut in front of the one being brushed:)
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Tag-team. I love it!
The look really does speak of ‘long-suffering,’ lol!
Oh you have NO idea. LOL
Elsa was pretty brave to get that close to the bath!
Hi Sam. I can attest, even if your sister was willing to take a bath instead of you, it would end up that you BOTH get a bath. I know. From experience. I have a good sister. ~Lucy
Bath time can be pretty crazy around here. Wilhelmina used to be long suffering just like you, Sam. But after Avalon came along, who actually tries to jump out of the tub during bath time, Wilhelmina has decided that she can resist her bath altogether by refusing to jump into the tub in the first place!
Elsa, you can come over here any time to block our bath times, we will shower you with treats as a thank you ;p
the critters in the cottage xo
Treats?! I’m boarding a plane now! BOL
Your fur-iend,
Elsa 🐾
Looks like your Mom should take you very seriously, Elsa! Poor Sam. That look on his face is pretty pitiful and guilt-inducing.
He’s such a con artist! {insert rolling eyes here}
My heart goes out to you Sam.
The horror…
Elsa, I’m not sure I would enter that room willingly for any reason 😉
Nose nudges,
CEO Olivia
Volunteers always get special treatment. 😍 And lots of treats.
I can just imagine the deluge when one or both of the Spoos does the infamous post-bath shake.
NEVER give Spoos a bath without an umbrella. ☔️
That’s why Shadow gets groomed by Auntie Andrea and Ducky gets groomed at daycare. I don’t have what it takes to do it myself any more.
The hardest part is trying to find him when he goes into the “witness protection program” once he sees me assemble towels, shampoo, and grooming tools bucket. Sam is surprisingly compliant but really notches up the drama quotient. The dog should win an Academy Award for his theatrics! 😁
😂
Adorable…they both look so serious! <3
Bathing is very serious stuff around the Ranch.
So it seems! 😀
Ha! Schooner would likely show up during a Choppy bath just to make fun of her (though Choppy rarely gets a bath at home, so we haven’t tested this).
There’s one in every family, isn’t there? 😊
Mine are in the market for substitute bath takers…
Look for Elsa on the next slow boat arriving. ☺️
Are you sure she didn’t just come in to laugh at the torture victim…
WHAT? A sister making fun of a brother?! {snort}
Go ahead. Substitute. Peeps can’t tell you apart.
Shhhh…don’t tell them that-you’ll foil my brilliant plan for next time.
Umm… maybe?
Seems she just can’t be separated from her big brother.
A substitute bath-taker! That would be brilliant. I bet they’re tough to find, tho. Elsa came close….
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Hmm, Cupcake…you’ve given me a brilliant idea for next time!
Good morning guys, enjoy your day!
And a hearty good day to you as well!
it’s great how they support each other… shared water boarding is demi-sec water boarding right?
😆
Oh my friend Sam, you look so sad, I will try to fly there to help you, if you think it is ok that I am a cat.
Kosmo,
a cat in faraway Finland.
I will accept assistance from ANYONE, Kosmo! It makes no matter that you are a cat, maybe even a plus sine you are so handsome and clever.
Oh Sam, you are very polite. I try my best giving POTP. Maybe you don’t see me , but you will feel soft paws touching your ears and my whiskers tickling your face. Everything will be fine!
Your friend
Kosmo.
I DID feel something and I know it wasn’t Elsa…so thank you!
very funny, how clever.
These two are like that.
