Follow up on animal control ordeal.

[bamademo]

I get home from my grueling job of dishing out slop for elementary schools babies and washing pans. I go out and check on my dogs to make sure they had food and water. They did.

I fill up the bathtub, put my poor old Springer in and bathed her with flea shampoo. I brushed her
and she looked and felt better. The whole time my other sweet dog (rescue) was trying to lick the soap off her and whimpering. He is so protective of her.

Finally I lift both of them in the car and drive to vets office. Officer Trask from animal control was there. I grew up with the Vet (since like 2 years old. His mother and mine were best friends) and he comes out and starts laughing that I'm facing animal cruelty charges. He vouched for me with Officer Trask and I made the officer come to my car and look at dogs. He was satisfied and said no further action would be taken. I thanked him for bringing the situation to my attention and said I appreciated what he did for animals (although I wanted to puke on the words, but I also didn't want to go to jail). So now everything is groovey and I'm drinking vodka because every muscle in my body aches.

Roll my Sweet Tide tomorrow!!!

2. So glad it's over

But seriously, the police in your town have nothing better to worry about than dogs with fleas?

Must be heaven.

I hope better cop-free days are ahead for you and the pups.

3. That's a well-earned vodka.

I'm glad your babies are feeling better and things are on the moving to the brighter side for you. Bless you, your brother and your doggies.

Enjoy that drink.

5. I'm glad it got resolved

But my dogs are blaming you for the baths they got today and the nail clipping torture. After I read your initial post I thought I better give these guys a bath.

6. My springer doesn't mind water but Roscoe the border collie/lab mix didn't like it.

I ended up getting naked in the shower with the dogs. And no, we didn't do anything kinky. It's just the most efficient way to do it. I always get soaked anyway.

8. I shower with my dogs also

During the cold weather. I bathed everyone today. 5 dogs and 3 horses. And me too

10. When I lived with my Grandma after High school

She had a little dog, Casey Jones, his mother, a neighbors dog, was a cockapeke and his father was a doberman, traveling salesman. He was twice the size of his mother. He just loved being alive and everyone and almost everything in the world.

I slept on the pull out couch in the living room and I would go in and take a shower before bed with dial soap. Grandma and I would then watch Johnny Carson before we went to sleep and Casey would hop up on the bed and wash my feet a second time. Originally when I had told him to stop he would pout all night so I gave up but stopped him at my ankles.

I don't think I would ever let another pet wash my feet every night but he was pretty special.
