Quick, Run and Hide! It's BATH Time!

I was having such a wonderful moment! One of my humans had just come home from shopping all day, and I was so happy and excited! Nothing could be better than having one of my loved ones come home again!

I bounced with joy,
And found my toy,

And ran around all barky!


'Twas a wonderful day,
Until Lizzy did say,
"Come for a bath now, Sparky!"

Like my poem? I wrote it myself! Hee hee.

Anyway, that last line, it totally ruined everything. I was having a wonderful moment, when all of a sudden my human Lizzy called me for a bath. I stopped everything I was doing, dropped my toy, and hid. Unfortunately, I can never hide good enough.

Lizzy found me hiding in the cupboard with the towels.

I got plunked into the tub, and Lizzy started the water running. It's time... my doom has come...
I am now, what you might call, a very soggy doggy.

Do you know what's even worse than having a bath?...

...Having a cat watch you have a bath.
Rascal decided to come watch me in my pathetic moment. She thought I looked hilarious. She wouldn't stop teasing me. I felt so embarrassed, I could have just melted down the drain.
Am I done my bath yet?

Please, can I get out now?
Finally! Lizzy wrapped me up in a warm towel to help dry me off. I would've much preferred running up and down the carpeted hallway with my head smushed into the floor. That's the best way for a dog to dry off.

Notice how my eyes are glowing a deep red?... That's 'cause I'm no longer embarrassed about having Rascal laugh at me, but now I'm angry. I'm thinking up an evil plan... I should catch her and eat her up for dinner.

Sparky, you poor thing! How cruel we humans are to you dogs...
Penny, also, loves to rush up and down the corridor "smushing" her ears into the floor. (Love that new word!)

Hi Sparky
You look kind of miserable in the bath. Guess it doesn't help having a cat laughing at you.
Nice to meet you by the way.

We're sorry you hate the bath but you sure do look cute during the whole process. The way Lizzy tells the story, your poem, and the pics makes for a great post. We're going to nominate you for post of the month at the DWB! (I know this is a Feb post but we'll have to nominate you for March.)

Great post! It made my human laugh outloud. :)

PerfectTosca said...

Whoa Sparko! I feel for ya. You look downright miserable after that bath, and having a cat snort at you is no fun either. I ought to know.

That's a Perfect Poem you made there!

Thor and Jack said...

Luna "The Scruffy Yacht Dog" said...

Oh Sparky,

I do hate baths. And yes I agree putting my face on the rug and engaging my back legs for propulsion is the best way to dry off. Mom doesn't think so, but pay backs are a female dog. Hehehe.

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

I don't like bath time either. Mom usually waits until a warm day and hoses me down. Louie on the other hand has been having accidents in his condo so he gets a bath quite often. Get this he got a bath on Friday and he actually jumped in the tub for mom while she was running the water. What a suck us. He does the zooming around the house stuff and shaking all over when he is done. Mom thinks the put speed in that soap she uses..

Roxie, Sammy, Andy and Shermie said...

WE hate, hate, hate baths! Mom always has to catch Roxie first and bathe her because she will run away. We boys just give in the indignity and wait for it to end.

How was the cat?

Gudrun said...

Hi Sparky!

Bath?! *shudders* I don't like 'em at all! But I have to admit, the only good thing about baths is the treat I get afterwards. Do you get a treat after your bath?

the many Bs said...

hi Sparky, oh you look like such a sad dog when you were in your bathtub, all soggy and wet. you are a good boy to sit in your towell. when we get baths, we let mom towell us off real fast and then we run all over the house and rub on everything. that part is fun, but being wet and clean is a woofin' bummer.

woofs!

Amber said...

Hey Sparky! I hide when is bath time too. but they can easily find me! You are a good hider! Rascal should be bath too!

Amber :p

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

Your always welcome to come to the lake with you. But your Mom will probably decide it is bath time again when you get back. Sorry to say we are quite smelly when we return...

Deefor said...

I agree. Baths are awful. That looked like a pretty good hiding place too. But brushing is even worse. A little dirt never hurt any dog.

T-man Angel said...

Oh Sparky, that was a good try hiding in that closet. Maybe you'll find a better place next time. I hate baths too, but at least I don't have an evil cat watching me..brrr....

You still look cute when you're soggy, don't worry :)

We feel your pain, Sparky. We hate baths too! I can't believe you had to get teased by the cat on top of it. We hope you planned something good and naughty to do back to the cat!

Gosh, the horror. I hope you've recovered from that traumatic experience and have gotten your fluffy back. The cat watching was the worst part I bet... humans have no shame.

Hey, Sparky! Me and my mom laughed at your post, but I can't get why you wouldn't love to get a bath. I love them!!! Water is the greatest thing in the world next to birds and cheese!!
