Why is mom in a bathing suit in October??

[Toby]

I decided that I would bathe Toby in between official groomings to cut down on the actual visit ( this is the worst dog), the cost ( grooming price equivalent of hi lights), and let's face it, just the smell. Toby loves roaming outside ( free spirited bohemian puppy we like to call him) and after several days of jaunting around, he smells like earth. Figured I would conquer the furry beast in the downstairs shower ( in full swim wear ) which means I have to go in with him . It's a bit easier than the tub - no lifting . But boy is he squirmy. He bathed, I bathed , my son bathed ( full conjugation of the verb to bathe ), and a whole wet downstairs bathroom . Alas , he was clean. No more earth smell. Ok maybe I smelled but then I went and showered . What did I do before Toby?? Relaxed I guess. But in crazy way, I enjoy even crazier life with free spirited bohemian puppy .
