Silly when wet


I don't know how many of you have dogs - or how many of you bathe them for that matter, but I like to keep mine pretty clean. They're normally bathed every two to three weeks, depending on how long it takes them to get stinky.

So Sunday I donned shorts and a T-shirt, broke out the doggie shampoo and set to work with Gracie and Lulu in the shower.

Once I finished toweling them off, they each did their post-bath crazy runs.

Don't bathe your dog? You probably have no idea what the crazy runs are. Have one? I'm sure you've seen them take off like a bullet, bouncing and shaking, running into furniture, playing with each other and being silly. The crazy runs usually entail barking, someone inevitably skidding across the floor on wet feet and a lot of general silliness.

Here they are after a pause in the crazy runs (encouraged via cookie bribery). Lulu's the blonde and Gracie is the black and white one.

Just for the record, toddlers do the crazy run after a bath too. Usually naked! I did get your voice mail last week, I was in NY City with a group of 40 students, since I've been back I've mostly just slept (they wore me slap out!), but I promise I'll call you back. Really I will ;)
