Bath day for the dog.

G'day, Rufus the dog here. Well, my dear mistress has been neglecting her blog of late (she's been shuffling around the house muttering something about posting pictures, and credit cards, and wanting to organize pictures-she's a pretty sad sight right now.), so I will fill in the void to keep her readers from giving up on her. I don't know if today is a special day, or if my house-mates and other admirers were just getting tired of the alleged dandruff that may or may not have been on my head, but I got a bath today. I've learned that squirming around and trying to get Jen as wet as I can only fuels the fire and makes her mad and more determined than ever to get me clean. So, I stood ever so patiently in the sink while she hosed me down and lathered me up. She even remembered to put some Nexus leave-in conditioner on me so that I am irresistable, especially to the ladies. I am on a short break now, and I have to get back to running around like mad and shaking my wet body from one end to the other, and wiping my face on the carpet. (It's what I call, "the after-bath rump-to-front dance.")

And this is one of the reasons I have a cat.

No dogs?

Man, Rufus, I don't even get Nexus leave-in conditioner. Guess I'll have to enjoy the process with my Thermasilk.

We call this "cracker-dog", taking a term from James Herriot's books. All but the youngest babies in our house can excitedly chant "CRACKER DOG!" encouraging the silly beast to race up and down all stairs at a breakneck pace.

It serves as winter entertainment here, right up with the chasining of the tail.

No dogs, much to my son's disappointment. But watching the cat chase a flashlight is pretty good entertainment, too.

Rufus, teach me how to be like you.

tk, I wish I could, man, but turning on the charm is just part of my DNA.
gracegirl, good luck with that (rolling eyes) OTHER brand.
ananymous, I thought I heard you mentioning to Jen that you had a couple of boxers. Is someone a little delusional?

Rufus...can I shake your paw?

The Resident Writer dijo...

I'd love to have my paw shaken by wagamama. When will you come over? I'll sit by you on the couch when you come to watch "Clue." We have that movie.

The Resident Writer dijo...

Rufus was dictating that to me.

The only boxers in my house are worn by the three human males. :)
