So I gave my dog a bath just now. My bathroom is pretty much trashed. Imagine trying to wash a wriggling, jumping, climbing, splashing, squirming, wet, screaming, 30lb American Eskimo dog in your bathtub. I could get him in the tub just fine, but keeping him there was a problem. Every time I'd get the cup to pour water on him he'd leap for freedom. I could hold him with my arms then. But, once I got him soapy I pretty much had to hold him with my whole body. Everything I was wearing (pjs) got totally soaked and covered in gobs of dog fur. There was standing water all over the bathroom floor too. When I finally let my dog into the main room he started running in mad circles and playing. I am surprised that he had any energy left, since he fought so hard against being bathed.
Last time I gave him a bath was when he decided it was a good idea to jump into the tub while I was taking a bath.
