Playing in the Bathtub

Whether there's water in it or not, one of Sandy's favorite places is in the tub. This morning again, he shared the garden tub with me. Just sat right down and let me bathe him. Then after breakfast while I'm brushing my teeth, he jumps into the downstairs tub and looks wishfully for more water!

He can now: sit, shake hands with his right hand (at first he only used his left hand so we have probably ruined his life by making him be right-handed), lay down, come here, be still and the big one---go tee-tee. It's just like having a baby again!

Wobbly Legs on Deck

We're a Netflix family. Yes, we have TV trays beside both of our recliners so movies can be watched while we eat. Today Sandy learned to jump up in the recliners! Are we excited or what!!! So while we were eating supper, I look up and he is in my recliner, standing on top of my TV tray.

But how can you not love this face!

We just got finished with a bath tonight----just him in the tub tonight. He loves it, but his coat is hard to get it to soak up the water. After the bath, then he's ready for playtime before he goes outside for the night.

A Bath for Two

Our new alarm clock (named Sandy) woke me up this morning barking & whimpering at the backdoor. 6:54 a.m. on a Saturday is sleeping time, but he thought it was play time. I got up, grabbed my long housecoat and went outside to rescue him from the horrible tortures in the backyard. I brought him back upstairs to our bathroom and let the water run in my garden tub. Immediately Sandy starts standing up by the tub and whining.

There was nothing else I could do but get in the tub and put Sandy in there with me! He loved it. We hadn't been in the tub long until David got up and caught us. Sandy then wanted out to play with him, but he stayed in long enough to get him clean and then we got out and dried off.

And NO, I didn't smell like a dog all day. He smelled like a person!
