Yeah, yeah, I know, y'all were all holding your breath. (Mom, I'm sorry I just published the phrase "y'all were all," but if necessary, I blame you for having raised me in Texas. Just be glad I didn't write "y'all were all holding y'all's breath." It was a possibility.)
As one would expect, Lola was a dirty girl after our visit to Bull Creek, and a bath was certainly in order. This time, Lola's Daddy was on hand to document the procedure. Thanks to him I can now describe, in detail and with visual aids, How To Give Lola A Bath.
First, put on clothes that you don't care about. Then get in the tub with the doggie and start some medium-warm water. She will crouch beneath your legs, just slightly annoyed with the whole procedure.
You're going to need some doggie shampoo! (Ridiculously gleeful infomercial face.)
And you're going to need a cup to scoop water over your dog! (Serious infomercial face.)
Use the cup to get your doggie soaking wet.
Even her face, which might be difficult.
Rub the shampoo all over with a nice massaging motion, which you imagine your doggie will enjoy. (Seriously. Who wouldn't enjoy? This part has to be nice.)
Don't forget her ridiculous pom-pom of a tail.
At this point your doggie may look rather pathetic. Do not relent!
Use more shampoo and clean your doggie's feet, one by one. At this point the water will go from clear and fresh to dark and muddy, and your boyfriend will refuse to ever take a bath with you ever again.
Rinse off your doggie with the cup.
Make sure to rinse off her silly long ears.
When she is all clean, gather her up in a towel. She will need lots of loving and cuddling until she is dry.
