Un+wanted+Bath+time

I'm soaked from my head to my toe, mud every where on body, legs covered with grass and dog hair .Now how did I get this way you ask? Not by playing in the sprinkler or pool, not by the shower. Your getting closer but still no not by playing in the mud. I’ll tell you though.

Picture a massive dog about three times as big as me and weighs as much as a seal actually 200 lb. This is actually called a mastive and like I said is one of the biggest and fattest dogs on the universe. Now picture this ignormus cat eating dog that stinks like 3 week old garbage and has mud smeared into his coat. Just guess who has to wash him? Yep your finally right ,I do .If you have one of those dogs then listen to these 3 very important tips.

The First Step for Giving Your Mastive a Bath is. If its summer time then do this event out side. This is a time where you get all your materials ready, for example towels ,shampoo, and the hose. Unfortanly I learned this the hard way, once I was giving Ruffus , my dog a bath and when I needed the towels I could not find them, so I went in side to go get more towels and when I came back out Ruffus decided it was play time and started tromping ,rolling and basically eating the mud, so he got another bath and in trouble. Make sure you have clothes on or a swim suit that you can get the following on ,dog hair ,shampoo, mud , slobber , water , grass ,and last but not least, green hard to get out grass stains. You will get those things on you because you will get throwed down, slip on the grass ,get malled by slobber, and you’ll of corse have to touch the dog so you’ll get hair on you ! Oh and did I mention that the grass on your legs feels like running through tall grass so it itches a lot and sticks to you and it is really hard to get off .Ya, just thought I’d mention that plus watch out for massive paws.

Another Step is. Before you even think about turning the water on, get your dog calmed down. I know for fact that when I start to turn on the water Ruffus will start barking like a mad man, running around trying to avoid getting a bath , and will sometimes on a blue moon will try to drink the water coming from the hose. So tie you’re dog to a post (make sure its doggie proof ) or something else 0and maybe just maybe put a muzzle on them. When your dog is finally calmed down spray the dog until he/she is completely soaked. Now take your dog shampoo and rub it all over your dog. Get the hose and wash the shampoo all off and your done.

Step 3 - Your dog will probably now be getting flustered and impatient so be alert for tails and mainly the caboose! Now is for the towels to come in handy. Get a towel and dry your dog off. If your dog did good then give them a reward such a treat or a bone or even a walk!

If your dog is huge like mine or a tiny tea cup puppy these tips can and will help every one who has a dog who is stubborn or is perfect .So use these tips wisely and you will see that bath time can be fun if you do the right things.
