drying wet dogs...

wet dogs

That's Lacy on the left. She's so funny. Next to her are Sampson and Sweety, but they have both passed. 

When it rains and our dogs happen to get wet, when they go out to pee or just go out for a frolic in the rain, one of my simple joys is to dry them off with a beach towel or a designated doggie towel (a good way to reuse old towels). It’s so cute!

Our pitbull Pig (whose real name is Butterfly) was so afraid of the rain, it was hilarious! Except when she refused to go outside and peed inside instead - that was not as funny. But watching her face as she struggled with the idea that it was wet outside...so cute. It was as if she was thinking, "Are you kidding me? I'm not going out there!"

On the other hand, Lacy isn't bothered by the rain at all. Both dogs are so funny when they’re wet and are getting rubbed dry. If you haven’t tried this, please do so and enjoy the humor and love.
 
Do you all love this simple act?

We also have a designated doggie towel for our little "love sponge"—Chloe, otherwise known as Huggy Bear, a mini aussie. It's like a day at the spa for her when she comes in from the rain, sits down and waits for her towel rub down. She loves the attention! Life would be so boring without a DOG in the family!:)

We're supposed to get snow tonight, yikes! I'll take the rain any day.

We don't have dogs, but we do have 2 cats.. One of whom does not mind his baths at all! As long as the water is warm enough, he purrs and sits patiently in the tub, waiting till we wrap him up in his soft, fluffy towel. Then, of course, he wants body heat while he's drying, and will repeatedly jump up on our laps.. leaving wet spots on our laps! But he's just so cute we can't push him off or tell him no!

I love drying my staffie, buddy! He loves the water if its warm so he will take showers with me and lay down in the shower lol. When its time to dry off he runs right into the towel and goes through it and does the same thing over and over while making a cute tiny growl sound. Its adorable! 

Getting towel dried is my dog's favorite thing ever! I've never seen anything like it. He loves it more than anything :)

i think dogs look so cute when they're wet (in a pathetic, please love me sort of way).

my old golden retriever annie used to love the rain and run around like it was the best thing ever. thanks for sharing the pic! so cute :)

My Haleigh Anne is too girly girl to get her lovely feet wet and mud? Oh no, that is just unacceptable.

My other 3 love the rain, but their favorite thing is to run around the house to dry off. That is just hilarious to watch! 

My dog not only hates the rain, but he won't walk on a wet surface. AT ALL! So when it rains I have to pick him up (which he normally hates too) cover him and walk him to the underground (and dry) parking garage to do his business. It is truly hilarious to watch him attempt to walk on anything wet. He literally freezes.. And I can hear his thought clearly "eewwwwww".

Aww, what well-loved doggies. 

My Bonnie is the same, she's not so keen on the rain. In fact, when we had Mac, he used to sniff the air outside when it poured and turn away! Dogs are amazing.
