This thread is making me laugh hysterically!
I was always taught not to bathe dogs; so mine get it only when they need it. They're all different, however:
Baby loves water and will jump into the shower with anybody who will allow it. I have to shut her out and she sits outside the bathroom door whining.
Buster the idiot--manages to pee on his own foot, and if he misses, will step down into urine. Also loves mud and dank ponds. He gets bathed the most. Has his legs washed a lot.
Fido hates water. Mr. Finicky will "hold it" until he's busting if the grass is damp rather than wet his feet to relieve himself. Another idiot. As fastidious as he is, he loves rolling in smelly stuff; the other day he led Buster into a neighbour's paddock and they had a good roll in cow manure. I was so cross I stuck them straight under the outside tap; Buster bore it but Fido squealed like a stuck pig; the whole neighbourhood asked the next day what had happened and if he was all right?
