Washing dogs (and cats)

They showed it on our news last night ! First I would have to catch the little beast I am minding, she would not go quietly into that dark machine like the poodle !

Tomorrow is the day I become dog-free, Hidiyeh and I can't wait !! Sorry Gillian, I guess sausage dogs are not for me. She does a terrific imitation of a vacuum cleaner where crumbs are concerned, a canister one of course!

Puff has no problem with a bath, and he's crate trained, but I imagine he would have a fit if I tried to lock him into a closed closet, even with a glass door. That machine looks stupid to me.

As to Opal, I doubt it's the sausage part that's bothering you. More likely the puppy part. Puppies are a handful.

Sheena,

You WOULD like Gretel. Very quiet, just likes to curl up on a mat somewhere near Jim or myself. Her only destructive habit is she tries to jump up on the bed if there is a thunderstorm, and has ripped some of the bedding with her claws. She should know that at age 12 (next week) she is too old for that sort of thing.

Max would have believed that the cat was a play toy just for him. The EMIL wouldn't allow him in her room, where she kept the poor cats cooped up.

Nor would Jaz. I can't see how it would do a very good job, either. It's basically just a rinse. Jaz needs a good scrubbing!

SPEW! Too funny, Sheena!

I do think it is the kangaroo boing boing that has been driving me mad, quiet would be nice. Maybe in a couple of years time. She is good really, she is just being a puppy and I do not need a puppy. The cat has grown casual now and torments (as cats do) by sitting right in front of her, just out of her reach. That's a piercing bark !

After bridge this a.m. I so foolishly went out to lunch with friends and I just knew when I got home, there she was sitting fenced into the kitchen with child safety gates, pleased as punch with the pee pad chomped and shredded better than any shredder could do it.

Less than 24 hours now...
