Trisk rolled on a dead mole on today's walk. The level of dead where parts are now alive in a different way...

Of course the first thing I did with him upon getting home was an urgent shower.
Halfway through said shower there was a weird noise behind me. I turned round, and Cad was sat grizzling that he wasn't getting to have a shower too!

Haha I wish, mine will hide if one is having a shower as chances are it’s their turn next

Ha ha! I've thrown Penny in the shower plenty and that's definitely something she does NOT have FOMO about. Though she will sit in the bathroom when I'm showering if I don't close the door all the way....

Percy had bad fomo today as I bathed Sausage and Hilde, but he hates being washed and dried so I try not to do him and leave him too the groomer but he was so interested, thankfully he doesn't get a rancid stinky beard like the Sausage.

Nooka used to head for the hills if she thought she might be getting a shower!

The Schnauzer boys are the same, they regard water as a highly toxic substance to be avoided at all costs. The strange thing though is they'll happily go to the groomer and allow her to "have her way" with them without a problem!

I tried to introduce Jasper to the water in the garden to help him cool off in summer. Put kibble in a large plastic tray - no problem. I taught him to place a paw in the tray. Put enough water in the tray to cover the bottom by no more than a centimetre.... No way Mum, scary, are you sure it's not an acid bath? Added kibble to the water... this hound was food obsessed but no, it was scary, he might drown...

He'd happily go in ponds and streams on walks as long as the sides shelved very gently, and lie in the water to cool off, but the water in the garden - and rather fortunately, the garden pond - were a complete no-no.

Baths or showers were simply not going to happen. Luckily he was a Teflon dog - mud tended to fall off - and didn't roll in stinky stuff.

Made me giggle, we had our granddaughter on Saturday who needed a bath after playing outside all day.
The dogs heard the bath running and would only come to the top of the stairs…once they realised it wasn’t their bath time they both came to watch what was going on yet give them stinky pond/river/puddles they will happily play but nice clean water it’s always a no thanks.
