Hello!

Hi everyone! I know I've been kind of quiet on the blogging front lately, but hopefully that will change this year. How has everyone's 2018 been so far?

Mine has been pretty good. I went to -- hey!

Mom, can't you see I'm blogging right now? Let me go!

Uh oh, I think I know what this is all about.

 See, I haven't had a bath in a long time, not once in 2017. There's no getting out of it this time.

She really has it in for me. I took a deep breath as she tossed me into the water.

SPLASH!!

But with the bubbles and all, it's not so bad. It's beary relaxing actually. Look at the water - I was really dirty.

I requested some scented candles be lit for a spa-like effect. Hey, if you never ask, you'll never know.

There was also a soft terry cloth bathrobe waiting for me. Alright, I'm all clean and ready for new adventures this year!

When was the last time you took a bath?

Something smells

"Hey guys, what are you up to?" I asked.

"Oh not much," said Uncle Tibbs. "Parker and I are just working on a new dog trick and -- OH GOODNESS. WHAT IS THAT SMELL?"

Uncle Tibbs covered his nose.

"Ajdin, the smells seems to be coming from you. When was the last time you took a bath?" he asked.

"Hmm, I don't remember," I said. "But it can't be that bad, can it? Parker, you don't think I smell bad, do you?"

"WOOF!"

He ran away and hid behind Uncle Tibbs.

I took a whiff under my armpit and --

"PEE YEW!! Wow, I really do need a bath!"

"Alright, I'm headed straight for the tub," I announced. I grabbed some soap and a towel.

"But who will take care of my blog while I am away? It takes a couple days to air dry, y'know."

"Could I try?" asked Uncle Tibbs. "Perhaps I could be... a guest blogger!"

"That's a great idea!"

I'm sure my blog readers will be in good paws with Uncle Tibbs! See you later!

Bath time

I've had a lot of fun adventures in 2013, but sometimes all that exploring and adventuring can get me dirty and smelly.  So I've decided to start out 2014 on a nice and clean note.  I've asked my mom to give me a bath, and of course I requested a hand wash instead of the dreaded washing machine.

I've got some nice fluffy towels here and I also recommend Woolite for stuffie baths.

Running the water for a nice warm bath...

I like lots of suds and bubbles!  Now I just need a rubber duckie.

My shirt needs to be washed too.

One foot at a time... is the water too hot?

Getting ready to jump in!

Floating...ahh, this is so nice...

Ahhh, lots of bubbles!

Now I don't like this part too much but my mom says it's necessary in order to get really clean.  Look at all that grey murky water.  I was really dirty...

After a quick rinse, now it's time to towel dry.

A hair dryer makes the drying go quicker.

This is my favorite part.  I get to lie here for a while for more air drying.  "A cup of honey tea please, while I'm waiting..."

Now it's time for a quick spin in the dryer to fluff me up and make sure I'm really dry inside.

I'm a little dizzy...

Brushing my fur.  Gotta look good for the ladies.

And here I am, nice and clean!

How do you take a bath?
