PTSD*

*Post Traumatic Shower Disorder

Wednesday's photo showed the preliminary to Sam's bath...he knew what was happening, and ran around the house for five minutes carrying his collar, hoping someone would put it back on him, and thus avoid the indignity that was sure to follow.

Then he spotted it: the black bath restraint! It was time to high-tail it out of there, pronto.



Caught! Notice the tautness of the leash. He had his butt planted on the patio and was refusing to budge.



It was futile...he pleaded one last time to be set free, to be allowed to roam and stink in doggie splendor, as nature intended.



But to no avail. His fate (and dampness) were assured. It began...



Please Sir, won't you spare me any further humiliation?



Once back inside, he took the opportunity to spray the living room with water in revenge for his peoples unconscionable behaviour. He didn't understand why we only laughed.



"Perhaps if I rub the moisture in the carpet; maybe that will shut them up! Oh, if I only had thumbs, I'd make 'em pay!"



All right, all right, that's enough laughing...somebody help me get dressed.

  8. Poor Sam - did you get anyone to help you get dressed yet? You sure don't look very happy, but we bet you look very good once dried and brushed.

  10. I see your "pre-bath" routine is much like Sophies! You mention the word "bath" and she's in the most precarious position! Great photos and narration.

  12. Awwww Sam, YOU DID IT! Well done!
    Those are really cute and funny pictures, but you really don't like a bath do you?! Never mind, you are nice and clean now - ready to roll in the mud perhaps?
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  14. Oh Sam that is just not cool. You can come to the lake with us and take a bath. No soap or towels required..
