Step 1
Recruit little brother for wash and rinse duty.
Equip with hose and running water.
Step 2
Gather your supplies.
And the reluctant and uncooperative
Step 3
Wet dog.
Lather her well with doggie shampoo using special scrubbing mitt.
The dog will
Step 4
Rinse.
You may need to hold the dog tightly during this step, as she isn't wild about having water sprayed on her.
Especially by that short kid who gets a little drunk with power while holding the hose.
What have I done to deserve this?
Step 5
Do NOT repeat.
Step 6
Lavish the dog-washing children with praise for a job well done.
Compliment them on their initiative in seeing the need and volunteering to meet that need.
This way it will come as no surprise that next time this need arises, the local 'experts' will once again be called forth to dog-washing duty...all the while thinking it was their idea.

Adorable!
Now I want to see a series on, "How To Wash A Cat!" haha!!
I'm with GGG! hahaha!
I tell you, Becky, you could write a tutorial on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I'd be on the edge of my seat. you have "zee gift" for sure.
fantabulous!
That is so cute.
Are the socks a requirement?
"Rinse and reeeepeeat, riiiinse and repeat e-e-" I can hear Phoebe from friends singing in my head.
Raisin's legs look very much like the legs of a French Provicial table, had you noticed?
I laughed heartily at the dog washing scenes. I've been through enough of these episodes to fully appreciate all that is involved. I can totally picture Judah's power while holding the hose and poor Raisin's chagrin! Jericho is quite a good sport to allow Judah to participate!
Funny that this came up today, because I have to give both CATS a good washing tomorrow to rid them of any remaining fleas from the summer. YUCK. Not my favorite job!
What HisGirl said...you are just too funny girl! Been there and done that with my dogs. My little lap dog is hard enough to wash!
As for what others said...there are actually people brave enough to wash cats?!?!? And I thought *I* was crazy!
Ooo, I bet she smells purty now! ;)
What good boys you have!
and remember....
always wear socks;-)
You're such a cool Mom!!! No wonder your boys love you so much!
I bet your pooch appreciated it, after the fact!
Becky,
It was fun catching up on the posts I've missed this week. It was one smile after another.
I especially loved the posts about Judah's adventures as a first time Cubby. (I understand those wistful sniffs!) And Jericho with those bags...melt my heart.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and encouraging words this week. Karen's funeral service yesterday was so beautiful. In all my life, I've never seen so many people attend a funeral. She was so well-loved.
Blessed to know you,
Tracy
Poor Raisin.
Those dogs...they put up with so much l.o.v.e. :)
