River, garbage, stinky fish
You might already know where this entry is going...bath time. It started this morning. Joan took me down to the river and she brought her gloves and garbage bags. There were other people down there, too, and they were all picking up garbage. I was supporting them - moral support - and occasionally jumping in the Mississippi or finding a stick and running around with it. Joan found a half-full propane tank! We filled 1 and 1/2 bags full of mostly styrafoam (cups, bubbles, larger pieces) and plastic (lids, bags, cigarette pack plastic) and cigarettes. Well, during all this I was roaming around and I found two really smelly (fish smelly) spots and I was rolling around in them big time, ignoring Joan calling me to her. Well, as you might imagine, when we got home, Joan gave me a bath. Can't she just leave me smelly? I guess not, because I also heard Tim, my favorite neighbor, say that he wouldn't even come over and see me if I was smelly. She washed me in the front yard with REALLY cold water. But I liked it better than the bathtub because it goes faster. Then she dried me off with warm towels and then brushed me. That felt good. Now, I'm going to lie in the sun on my bed and dry completely while Joan takes a shower to get the smell off of her!

Bosco sounds like you had a great time. Then you got a quick bath and dried with warm towels. I think you played a little trick on Joan to get yourself some SPA treatment. I may try something like that myself. About a week ago I got a great bath and my nails done. Warm hair dryer and towels. After I got home Bob took me for a walk. Now we live in Oklahoma City and it gets hot. Well we had walked about a mile and half and I was very hot. Bob was not looking so I sat down in a wonderful little puddle. It felt great so cool. Bob did not think this was very cool he did clean me up but he used one of those little handi wipe type rags. Your Friend Duffy

Outside baths are much better than inside. I hate that slippery tub!
We don't have any rivers or smelly fish here, I have to settle for bird poop to roll in. Julia doesn't like that, but it smells so good to a dog!

Buttercup,
Sometimes I eat bunny poop but I don't roll in it. I keep that for the really smelly stuff!

Heh.
Our dogs might really love smelling like fish but it's an odor rarely appreciated by humans. Especially not in the car or on the couch (or the bed, as the case may be). ;)
