i’m no dog groomer

Nov 15, 2023

Merida was itching like crazy with dry skin so I decided to bathe her and treat her skin with coconut oil. That always helps! Thing is, Merida HATES water and therefore hates a bath. Wrestling her in the tub is a backbreaking chore. The entire time she’s getting scrubbed, she’s trying to figure a way to get out.

Dharma didn’t need a bath, but she LOVES water and felt totally left out and butt hurt over the ordeal.

Even though I was soaked and wore out, I let her get in, soaped her up, and cleaned up hair for the next hour and a half. At least she was thrilled. 🙂

Next came the nail trim and shaving the hair from the pads of her feet. She HATES that… she thinks the shaver is the devil and is sure I’ll slip and amputate a toe.

It’s all done and is only a memory — except for me — I remember it! Is there anything harder on a back than bathing a dog in a tub times two?
