Wet Dog!

Our dog, Rosie received a delightful (okay, maybe not delightful) surprise yesterday, after the kids got back from their first day of school. Scott and Emma asked my persmission to bathe our large standard poodle right after homework and dinner. "Okay!" I told them. Rosie really needed a bath badly, and-- to tell you the truth-- I was dreading to do the hard labor myself. I told the kids I would supervise and guide them, but they would have to do all the work themselves. They agreed enthusiastically and before I knew it Rosie was in the tub drenched with bubbles and shampoo. Scott and Emma energetically scrubbed her down and took turns cleaning Rosie's front-end and back-end. They never tired from their job, or became bored, and I could tell they had a very fun time. Rosie did not seem to mind either (for the most part).
