Today's a rainy, gloomy day, and we aren't spending a lot of time outside. Although I must admit I love to smell what's in the air during a good rain storm. Chloe and Katie will generally walk around or under the bushes to stay as dry as possible.
That doesn't mean we don't get wet...or muddy. Aunt Pat puts a towel down in the laundry room so we can walk across it to clean our paws off.
Then, if we're wet, she'll dry us off with a towel.
I'll sit and wait by the door because I love my tummy rubs! Chloe isn't so fond of getting cleaned up, even when she has to. This morning, Chloe decided to get Aunt Pat into a game of Keep Away. Aunt Pat noticed a leaf stuck in Chloe's tail, so she tried to get Chloe to stop long enough to get it out. Chloe ran away, and then would run back again. She was very excited and happy, and ran into the garden and started to dig! I think it was a diversion to get Aunt Pat over so Chloe could run away. Aunt Pat was able to get the leaf out, but Chloe got so muddy!
Chloe tried to clean herself by jumping on and off the sofa and rubbing herself on the sheet, and on the dog bed. Once Chloe tired out a little, and once Aunt Pat gave her a treat, she was able to clean Chloe off as much as possible. Chloe's paws still look a little dirty, but she's not as bad as before. The washcloth and towel were so filthy, Aunt Pat threw them in the washer with the other towels.
