Teddy hates bathing

Hey guys, we are having some electricity and internet problems lately. It is so strange and weird, since it just goes off and on, and no one is saying anything about it. It's strange because even mobile data doesn't work at times. Yesterday even stores couldn't work since they couldn't give bills. Very strange.

Anyway, today it seems to be working so far. We wanted to bathe my dog for a while now, but we didn't have shampoo, weather was not good, and we kept procrastinating it. But today, this naughty boy get himself even more dirty, and it was time to do it now. I went to get the shampoo even though it was crazy hot. We put shampoo in empty beverage bottles and add water so that we can use it the best way. Since he is big and has long hair, we use half of the bottle of a shampoo.

He hates getting a bath, so as soon as he realized what is happening, he laid down and didn't want to go to the place where we planned to do it. But he also knows he has to do it, so in the end he gives up, and he is mostly calm and good behaving. He only shook and got us wet a few times before we finished. We need to get him wet first and it takes a while because his hair is special, and makes water slide and not go to the skin. So we need to make sure his under hair (he has 2 coats of hair) is wet, before we shampoo him. Same at end, it take some extra time to make sure all the shampoo is out, and nothing is hidden in his under coat, because it's not good if there is shampoo left.

Teddy looks so funny while he is bathing and while he is wet, because he has such long and fluffy hair, without it, he looks like a little mouse and much smaller than usual. People think he is big and fat, but in fact most of his appearance is his hair, and without it, he is very light and thin. You can see here how he looks while he is wet. But he has a lot of hair, and it takes us a lot of time to get him completely wet and shampooed. Also, we have to get it all out very good, and it takes time as well, while he gets more impatient.

As soon as we finished, he was just like crazy, running around and shaking a lot. I guess he was feeling more energetic because water cooled him down a bit in a hot day, but also he hates it, and he just wanted water off him.

He also started rubbing himself on ground and grass. I guess he can't stand to be clean even for a minute. But it was not that bad since it was grass only, he didn't get dirty again. I made video of him while he was doing that, but unfortunately I can't share that here, but I shared a few photos to show you how that looks.

Unlike getting bath at home, Teddy actually loves to go on the river and swim, I will show you that in some other article.

All photos in this article, including lead photo, are original and I own them.
