trug fill it with water ostensibly for watering the plants. Leave in the sunshine in order for the chlorine and nasties to go away. Then decide on a quick easy and efficient way to shower the dog in readiness for her trip off on her hols.
The water was sun-warmed with floating petals of purple clematis blooms. Don’t you just remember those oh so far away days of romance, a huge double bed scattered with petals in the shape of a heart, the candles lit, the bath run with lotions and potions of an aphrodisiac kind.
Something similar but not quite awaited Ellie.
Much to her disgust she was plonked in and the aloe shampoo
was vigously applied. The hose on low then gently rinsed her. We lifted her out for her to shake herself and me to towel her
dry-ish. Solar and air dried,
she retired into the cool confines of her very own Clematis Cottage. In the palatial and safe haven she sits her wet bott. on the earth, that will fall off as she gallops gleefully around the field later.
She is now sitting drying off in the sun.
Clean and carefree...
a dogs life!
Saving the planet as well, the water will still be used for the plants, what is there not to like?
A good plan all around. I do recall those romantic days and nights!
ReplyDeleteYes! And with memories of an other worldly experience... not to be missed!
DeleteI remember it so well.

Look how bright and shiny she is!
ReplyDeleteEllie does have a very shiny coat, whether it is in her genes or because of her cordon bleu casseroles I have no idea? She is a happy dog.

I need to bath Alexi every week as he has a slight skin problem. He stands in the bath and basically has a shower. He is very used to it now, but it kills my back leaning over! Enjoy your hols.
ReplyDeleteTrug in the garden while the weather is so hot Frances? Thank you we will enjoy our break, restrictions notwithstanding!
