Most dogs hate to be bathed. Have you ever called your dog over - with hose in hand - and it comes over to you? For me, I would have to put a leash around my dogs, and practically drag them over.
Max hates to be bathed. After pulling him over to the bathing spot and taking off the leash, the most of the hard work of bathing goes to keeping him from running away. On the few occasions when he manages to escape, I had to chase him around to get him back. However, Jon does not loath bathing as much as Max. I still have to drag him over, but once he is already wet with water, he will stand stand still till the session is over.
If you own more than one dog, you might realise that the other dog/s will simply disappear from sight while you are attending to the one on hand. I always bath one dog for that day, and bath the other one the next day. So I can imagine the relief felt by either Jon or Max when they realise that they need not be bathed after witnessing the first bathing session. "Phew, Master forgot about me".

About
- Edward
- highonanimals.blogspot.com is about my encounter and experience with anything about animals. It could be my own pets, or that of any animals I happen to come across. I will be sharing personal stories; offering opinions to both animal and non-animal lovers about the nature of animals; and with your comments and input, I will also get to learn more. There will be many fun stories, cause-related stories and animal pictures about my day-to-day life as a pet sitter, animal rescuer and pet owner.
