Robinton here... My momma is taking the covers off my green bed, and Brekke's bed already got washed, and now she's putting my bed pillow and my sheet in the washin' machine. She is also sayin' somethin' about being clean Americans for the Fourth of July, so I think we're gettin' a baff. I personally do not think baffs are so bad, 'cause I had a baff the day my forevermom came to get me on May 13th, and I absolutely love my home, my momma, my sister, Brekke, and did I mention the food here is great? Whenever my momma fixes chicken, we get bites. When she has peanut butter on bread, we get little bites. We get to have baby carrots and good biscuits for treats, and I get toys to play with, sometimes new ones, and sometimes I just help myself from the toy basket. Hmm, I think I will give Momma the L@@K after my baff, and I bet I can score some goodies tonight. Did I mention I like the food here? Smoochies and Happy Fourth of July wishes to hoomans and puppers alike, from Robinton, Brekke, and Hoomom Julia! :occasion17:
Frida was the first to notice me taking off the covers to theri dog beds. So she thought it was time for a little spa. But then she saw me go get Willy. SHe was not pleased. So Willy was the first one to get his bath yesterday in the big bathtub. Frida sat outside the door whining and whimpering and wondering why Willy was getting a spa treatment and she was not. Once Willy got out of the bath, Frida ran inside and they chased eachother around the house for 20 minutes. Finally, Frida got her turn. She gets her spa treatments in the big kitchen farm sink. She was in pure heaven. She managed to stay girly clean for about 24 hours. All was well until Frida got to the beach. She looks out at the waves as if she has a personal beef with the sea. She sat and barked as the waves came in. And barked. And barked. Covered in sand from rolling around with Willy.
Julia, now that summer school is out, we must get together for a little Pocahontas sandwich! I will email when I get back into town. Have a great fourth of July. Give lots of extra smooches to Brekke and Mr. Robinton. Two of the luckiest pups in town, next to Frida and Willy of course (who both stink like seaweed).

When da towels come outa da certain shelf and all da doors are closed bar da bedroom and the ensuite is covered in towel and mum says who is her good boy...........then comes the curlie but for a few days, but cannot complain as sis is even worse curlies hehehehhe boy the trials of being a long hair. Our bed gets changed every week, so dat is not a tell tail sign.

ps mum here and curlie buts are so so cute...............
Zeke and Zora know they are going to get a bath as soon as I take their collars off. It's the only time I do that. Zeke starts giving me "whites", but Zora runs for the hills and tries to hide from me.
Cookie sees the white towels on the bathroom floor and hears the water turn on and she runs and cowers like I am about to beat her silly. :rolleyes: I have learned to take her out to wee before bathtime though... because after the bath she will get me back by staring me in the eye and pee'ing on the carpet.
Oh and after the bath when she is getting towel dried she yipes and cries like I am beating her again. :rolleyes:
Yeah, bath time is not fun for either of us. :verdict:
Yup sounds like at our house !!! Mama treated herself to a full house cleaning (since she is still not able to do the bending and heavy stuff like de vacuum yet) - she was so excited to get it all done in 2 hrs !!! (Barb here - sure wish I had some extra $$'s - I would do that every week - it sure is nice!)
We digress........ well mama thought dat since de house was gonna be clean that she would wash all our bedding.....(she can do laundry).... and we figured, whats up???? We knew mama couldn't do de bending over stuff.... and Rudy is too heavy for her to pick up right now (Me, Brandy is under 10 lbs. - so she is able to scoop me off de bed !!!) SOOOOO........ knock, knock on our door and dere is a van outside with PET LOVE written on it.... WHAT me and Brandy thought....what de heck is dat? Well, it happens to be a mobile dog grooming van !!!! Dey take you to de van, give you a bath, squeeze your butt, snip your toes, put a 4th of July bandana on you and return you to your mudder.... den de next furkid goes....... Not too bad and mama is in heaven for having ALL of this stuff cleaned and done in just a couple hours !!!!
Barb here - totally rocks, totally expensive, but I just couldn't wait for 3 more weeks to be able to get stuff done. Won't be able to do it again any time soon - but for right now - it is awesome !!!!
We are wishing all of our fwiends a happy week end... since we missed writing dis yesterday on de 4th of July !!!!
Lub,
Rudy and Brandy
Dear Bwandy and Wudy, I will be on da lookout for any stwange vans going down our stweet. I don't wanna get a baff in da van!
:heart:Maddewoo
Mommy sez da I'm getting pawanoyd.....whatever DAT means.
I'm a little late on this one but i had to add my boys reactions to THE BATH!!!!. We have to convince Champ to come into the laundry room (Smokey is clueless and will follow anywhere. Champ knows what will follow next as soon as the door closes to prevent any escape. We have to wait for any preparation or His royal highness will not step foot in the laundry room, in fact if he knows what is happening he will wedge himself under the nearest bed and you will have to pry him out with a crowbar (or a really good treat like meat of any kind). Once the water starts Champ will create such a fuss you would think we were beating him. After about 5 minutes of trying to get a good hold on him (he can be a very energetic dog when he wants to) and you finally get him into the sink he will then stand there like a trooper and let you bath him to your hearts content. It is the preliminary fuss that is the most exasperating. Smokey on the other had will just watch Champ and stand there with his tail wagging having no clue that he is next. He will still be wagging the tail until you put him under the water. You would think that you were pouring boiling acid filled water on him. He will holler and squirm and make such a mess once he is wet. These two are such a riot because they are exact opposites in personality. Bath time takes about 30 minutes, two adults, one child and about 20 towels (two for the dogs and 18 for the mess that Smokey creates). They are such opinionated and stubborn little Germans!!!!
