The Bath Bug hits!

Earlier this week Maggie and Mitch had a blog entry talking about how the bath bug seems to have recently bit the hoomans, resulting in baths for THE DOGS! I have a rhetorical question for all y'all: If the hoomans get bitten by the bath bug, why must THE DOGS take the bath? I really don't expect an answer. It seems to be a universal hooman truth.


Muzzer got bitten last week.


Ergo...Me n Teka got baths.




Teka takes her baths in the kitchen sink.


She says she likes the view out the window. Muzzer says it is slightly more difficult for Teka to escape from there.


Here is a clean Teka!



Here is a clean Gussie!


Tomorrow is Mardi Gras!


Laissez les bon temps roulez!!!!!

You two look VERY nice! The bath bug has bitten here, too, but so far, only Patches is scheduled to be a victim. She gets groomed on Friday! Heeheehee! Penny and I get to wait a couple more weeks! BTW, I guess your Muzzer has already learned that the plural of y'all is ALL y'all! Don't forget, when there is only 2 of y'all, it's "y'all two both"! Our peeps had to learn a whole new language when they moved to the South!

Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches

Hi, Gussie...

Oh...You guys look great!!

I think the Bath Bug is making his way here, too...

This weekend my Dad told my Mom that I need a bath...My Mom said, I know...

I guess the bug didn't bite her too bad, cuz I didn't get a bath, but I'm watching her really close...

Abby xxxooo

It's almost bug time here in Oklahoma, for sure. Mom keeps Frontline on us year round so we don't have buggers, but a couple of barn cats she can't catch easy are hit-n-miss for that. I blame the cats.

Happy Tails,
Willam Tell

How fitting that Tanner's day falls on Tuesday like Mardi Gras and its really FAT Tuesday lol.

You guys look great all cleaned up!

Eric said...

Gosh. Hope Muzzer didn't wash that Swede William right out of Teka's hair....hmm that sort of sounds like a song,haa!!

Wiry wags, Eric

Hs,
You and the teka Toy look pretty spiffy. But only the kitties would fit in that sink; none of us dogs, not even Abby, would fit. In fact, though the retrievers will fit in the bath tubs, the two Newfs are too big. The Landseers go to the lake for their "baths."
- TBH

You and Teka look so clean, Gussie! Mitch has still escaped the bathtub! It's totally NOT FAIR!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

I don't think that Mardi Gras has anything to do with baths. I think it has more to do with donuts. Donuts are a lot better than baths.

There must be something to this bath bug stuff though. I got a bath last week. The bug must be working its way south.

Teka looks very beautiful but not too happy after her bath. And Gus, you look as handsome as always.

Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Yikes! Do I need to send you something to roll in to get rid of that clean soapy smell? Your coat is so white it must be blinding!

Say the word!

Your pal,

Hey, Gussie!

White parts of both dogs
Glisten in the Memphis sun
Gus, dirty no more

hehehe

Thanks for the Gussie haiku you composed on the spot in answer to all that goober haiku on Wally yesterday! You made me chuckle.

Seriously, though. Your white parts really ARE white! How do you DO it?

Of course, my girl wants to smoosh you and smooch you!

Goober love,
Stanley
