Two words never to say; "Bath" and "Doctor"!
Those two words scare Troy, our little Chihuahua/ Rottweiler so much that he runs and hides!
"Oh mommy"! "Please look and see that I am so clean and I really don't need a bath at all!
By the way, Troy is a Chihuahua that thinks he is a Rottweiler Lol
He even knows the route that we drive to the veterinarian doctor and after we pass the traffic light, he starts shaking in the car. The cheekiest dog in the country is scared of a bath and the vet Lol.
Thankfully he always sleeps his worries off afterwards and the next day he is as bright and bushy tailed as ever.
I will try to tell this story from his viewpoint.
Let's see what he says about it all!
"Oh no, old man, now you are going to show the world my privates, shame on you"!
"Now what are these mad people going to do with me"? "Drown me to go viral with a video on social media"?
"Oh no!, not drown but rather poison me with this new gunk that she is showing me"
"Look at him standing there with his camera, not a care in the world and I am about to die"!
"Oh no, they have tried to kill me in this tub many times before and I will just stand still this time".
"What?, she is finished and let me give that guy a bit of my mind!
"Yay! I made it and I am still alive. They have tried so many times before to kill me in that tub, but I have always survived".
"Oh yeah, let me get this stupid water off me as soon as I can"
"Come on, hurry up woman, I don't have all day to wait for you"!
"Ah! what a relief, finally free and funky again, seems that I have made it once again"!
"Nirvana here and I have to think about a new hiding place".
"Good night folks, I have been playing with dolly and now am taking a nap".
What a cadaver to bath this little guy, but he is maturing (14 years old) and I don't have to run around so much anymore to catch him for a bath. My trick to tell him "walkies" before we load him into the car to take him to the vet also doesn't work anymore, as he knows the way to the vet.
Dogs have their own thoughts about what we consider to be normal things and once they say no, it is difficult to change their minds. But it also depends on the species, as some dogs even allow themselves to be blow dried.
Our guy would think that we are going to roast him hahaha.
We hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures and may it lighten your burdens in the week ahead.

Great to have posted something that you love my friend.
We have many pets, but most of them are wild animals.
Blessings!
By the way, we sent you an email yesterday. Please let me know if you got it!
Oh, aren't they such babies?? In their other life, they are tough and the cheekiest little things on four legs!
I love your stories and honestly wonder how much of what you are saying is actually thought out loud by them! :)
How lucky to have such a good life with you and Lady Marian! And what a cutie he is! Especially when he is all fluffed up!
!tip
Hahaha, I don't think that they really talk like that Lady Denise, as they are the most loving beings on earth.
He is sleeping right here now under my chair as I type this and I love him almost as much as he loves me Lol
The bad news for him is that he has picked up some allergy that causes him to scratch incessantly. We took him to the vet and she gave us anti-biotics and a special shampoo at great cost of course. Now the little guy must be bathed 3 times a week and it is really a torrid time for him.
We can only hope that the stuff will work eventually as he is still scratching when he is awake.
Thank you for the kind comment and the tip dear friend!

Such a cool post Cuz, and coincidental. I am re-reading a sci-fi book by Clifford Simak, called City
Mankind has moved on, left the Earth to their dogs, being served by the robots as well.
Surgically modified, the dogs can now speak.
Now you see my cuz, this post of mine is affirmation that you are reading the correct book. Maybe you must do a post about the time that dogs can speak? I know one thing for sure that they will say to the robot servants; "Hey tin can, bring me a bone" hahaha
Blessings!
Good Morning @papilloncharity
I've almost finished it (again) last night cuz, it is quite the tail (deliberate malaprop)and really isn't very uplifting, not as far as mankind is concerned.
But if you have the time to read and the inclination to do so, it is a good story, albeit old; it started out as short stories in the middle part of the 20th century. I don't think it was assembled into a book until 1950 something. So some of the assumptions about how modern life would be for us are very outdated.
I think my wife would be more interested in that line my cuzzy. At the moment I am tied up in research and project writing. Charity of course.
But I don't think any of the old guys could figure out how far we have been "modernized" nowadays. Lol
Blessings!
Congratulations @papilloncharity

Having big dogs the vet is always a chore, normally a walk around the park first to calm them down.
Bathing using a horse brush at the end of the hosepipe in the courtyard is where I pin them down, once wet all the dogs have relaxed and enjoyed the treat.
Troy sure is expressive in his old age, literally telling you with his eyes how he feels about the whole affair.
Have a wonderful day Stephen.
I think it's the smell that gets them whenever they enter the vets place Lady Joan.
Bathing big dogs is a pleasure compared to this little guy. I once had two big dogs and they loved the water.
Little Troy has picked up an itchy allergy and he now has to have 3 baths a week with a special allergy shampoo. Poor little guy already hates baths and we feel for him.
May your day also be good my friend.
Blessings!
