Rizzo’s First Bath

So Rizzo’s breeder gave him a bath right before he came to me, so he really didn’t need a bath for a while. But everybody else was in good need of a bath, so since I was at it…


RIZZOSAURUS


Sudsy guy.


Making woe face like a good sheltie does!


Watering the Payton


OMG WATER


*gargle*


Georgie: What are you doing?
Payton: GETTING THE THING


Payton: AHHHH
Georgie: you’re stupid.


that’s Georgie’s tail in the background. She really can’t figure out WTF Payton is doing.


Meerkat impression!


IT MAKES ME DO THE PEEPEE DANCE


Gonna get iiiiiit


I GOT IT


It makes me so haaaappy!


Just right in the face. Over and over.


He sometimes seems to mind and other times doesn’t care at all LOL.


I really don’t know LOL.


Streeeeetch!


She tried watering higher so he couldn’t get it and he kept trying to get it anyway, including putting his muddy paws on her legs like “HEY LADY, GIMME THE WATER!”


At this point he realized he was SOAKING WET and tried to roll around in the grass to dry off. Of course this is the same grass we are watering so he was basically just rolling around in mud. Fantastic.


Georgie trying to figure out if this is a game she wants to play…


is this… is this a game?


No, no… it’s… well maybe. But no, you don’t want to play, Georgie.


Georgie: Seriously. What’s wrong with you?
Payton: Oh, LOTS of things!!


I really do like the way this dog moves, as an aside.


Aaaaand right back at it when she started watering low enough for him to mouth water again.


RAWR!


And some killer dance moves.

I had to go get him a towel when all was said and done. Then I finished toweling him off and my mom wasn’t done watering so BACK AGAIN HE GOES… sigh…


Baby’s First Bath

Apologies that several are blurry – unfortunately I can’t give the puppy a bath AND take photos at the same time, so my mom was nice enough to grab the camera. Also, he’s wiggly, so getting a non-blurry shot is a crapshoot to start.


Ahhh, a wet puppy! His paws look disproportionately HUGE when all of his fur is wet down, LOL.


I don’t think I like you anymore new MomLady.


And obligatory sheltiesaurus pics… LOL.


My poor dogs.


RINSE! Look at his nice neck. He actually HAS a neck. I bet the first time he goes to see the chiropractor she’s going to tell him he has a nice neck like the rest of his family.


Is abuzed.


sooooo abuzed…


somebody start singing “Angel…”


And then I grabbed a pink towel to wrap him in, LOL. Oh the inhumanity.


SHAKE!!

Also, baby is no longer nameless – I tried many many MANY names but the only name that really, truly fits him… is Payton. After #34.

So now both of my boy dogs are named after local sports players. Which leaves Miss Pepper as the special case when she comes home to join us, LOL. Which she just plain is the exception… so I actually kinda like it that way. (Though I could start calling her “Peppers” and say she’s named after Julius Peppers, haha.)


I’ve discovered another one…

Yet another rare, undiscovered species of dinosaur.


The Peppysaurus.

It is a very sad species of dinosaur.
