Jeff is feeling pretty good since his surgery and felt well enough to go hiking in the woods this afternoon. It is warm and humid today - at least in comparison to the unseasonably cool weather we've been having. Dodger decided to go swimming in the lake/pond. We found a spot for him that didn't look like pea soup, but he still came out with mud up to his elbows and stinking like crazy. Of course, he needed a bath.
How is it that a dog loves to romp and play in the water, but is allergic to the bath? Dodger just seems to know when it's bath time. He slinks off and tries to hide while I'm getting the towels and soap. It's also hard to convince him to climb into the tub. Once there, he is ready to jump out if I am not constantly watching him. He does smell much better afterwards.

It sounds like our dogs are similar. We took Toby to Blackwell and tried to get him to swim. I ended up throwing him off of the pier! He did fine. Just had no good reason to go swim. But our bathtime is just as crazy except I have 3 girls added to the chaos!
Maybe he's never been in water to go swimming...or he is part cat.
