Giving the Dog a Bath

 

When we picked up Moo Moo from Utah Valley Animal Rescue, she was filthy. She had clearly spent a lot of time outside and her fur was really dirty. Thing is, she had just been fixed and we couldn't get her wet for a couple of weeks. I wish they had given her a bath before they took her in, but there were many dogs at UVAR, so I get it. 

Today, enough time had passed so that Moo Moo could be properly washed. Blythe has been watching many dog grooming videos and insisted she do the bathing. I went in for moral support and to insure the dog didn't leap out of the tub and get water everywhere. 

She really was filthy. The water was gross when we finished. We almost didn't recognize the dog when she emerged from the bathroom. She smelled good, her fur was soft, her white bits were much whiter, and she was clean. And she tolerated the whole ordeal with patience and resolve. 

Blythe says she's going to make it a monthly activity. I'm sure Moo Moo was thrilled with the news.
