Vanity, Thy Name is Dog Owner



Another bath? Look at the picture. Four bottles of shampoo! Well, we’re big dogs.

Even Shane got a bath. To be precise, we got outdoor showers with the garden hose attached to the kitchen sink.

Just because I’m having skin problems, Joan thinks more bathing will help. Okay, so it feels better after it’s over; but, the whole process of wetting me down, lathering me up, rinsing me off, brushing, clipping, poking, prodding, telling me to stay, telling me to shake it out, telling me to be patient. It’s like being at the dentist office—at least, that’s what I imagine, never having been at the dentist’s office.

I think the real reason for the baths was in anticipation of the new car hammock for dogs that’s in the mail at this very moment. God, the things we dogs do to satisfy human whim and, yes, vanity. Alas.

Best wishes from a very clean Juno & Shane
