It's BATHTIME wahooooo!!!!!

Does anyone elses Boxer go COMPLETELY insane after a bath?!

Tonight, Dempsey had to have a bath. He "helped" mom and dad install new brick pavers this weekend, and by helped I mean as we dug dirt or poured stone dust, he was there to assist with his digging. He was completely filthy!

After the bath, like every other time though...he takes off around the house and is STILL running around and barking like he has been bitten by the crazy bug . I cannot possibly understand why, but it sure is funny to watch!

Chief doesn't go crazy; but he trots and prances around all proud because he knows he looks handsome! He even goes so far as to admire himself in the mirror for a while!

Re: It's BATHTIME wahooooo!!!!!

Riley HATES baths. So much so that he hasn't had one in awhile because last time I tried my head missed the sink by 2 inches in one of his fits. I'm waiting for the outside faucet to be fixed so I can bathe him out there because I cannot handle him in a tub and I would not want to put any of the grooming places through the stress that he creates!

Beau rolls around in my bed and rubs up against anything he can when he gets out of the tub. He's a wildman when bathtime is over.

LOL, this is just like our Rocky. Rocky is used to baths and afterwards goes crazy too. As a matter of fact he had one last night and literally wore himself out or just felt great because last night and this morning he was the laziest dog around! I couldn't even get him to go out for his morning break!

I must admit I love the "freshly bathed smell". We use a vanilla oatmeal shampoo on him. MMMMMMMM!

Re: It's BATHTIME wahooooo!!!!!

Brady goes nuts before and after. He gets so excited when he gets a bath, that is until he gets in the tub, then he will lean over the edge as far as possible and just stands there. As soon as he is done, he turns into a crazy dog too, running and throwing himself on the floor and pushing himself along with his back feet, rubbing up against the couch, anything...

Abbie doesn't really care, she just likes to see if she can drink all the water in the tub during her bath.

Lisa loves her baths and showers, there is a photo in my gallery where she refuses to get out of the shower.
She will drag the wet towels around with her after the shower and take it to her bed ???????

Biff is the same, mostly rolling around and rubbing himself up and down the livingroom carpet!

Re: It's BATHTIME wahooooo!!!!!

My Bella is the same as Dempsey. She prances and runs around like a mad woman after her bath. It's so funny!!! She continues for about 20 minutes, we are laughing the entire time. Bruno, on the other hand, hates his bath, but looks so happy and satisfied afterwards. He also rubs against anything large he can find: beds, couches, stairs, etc.
