Funny Bath Habits

Any of your sheepies have funny bath habits?

Beatrice will fall asleep, I have to keep propping her up or she will slide down the tub.
I have even had one groomer call me laughing so hard she could barely speak because of B's nodding off in the tub.

Rolf is more typical -- he just gives the look to KILL.

Oh I only wish mine would fall asleep during a bath! My male hates the bath and does this thing with his head from side to side with his eyes closed. We call it the "Stevie Wonder"! If you remember Stevie Wonder in his youth ( and yes, I am showing my age), he would shake his head from side to side... My baby, 2 years old, also hates grooming and will jump up on you and wrap her paws around you like a baby would and whine like we were killing her!

I wish wish wish my dog would fall asleep while bathing :roll:
I'm jealous too. I wish Chowder would fall asleep. She just stand with her head over the edge and lifts her front legs randomly to see if we will let her jump out. It's more annoying than funny. :D
Fall asleep :cow: in my deams!!!

Tiggy tries to move which ever bit I'm wetting which results in a lot of wiggling and wriggling about and even more funny her trying to lift more than one foot up at a time. :lol:
Violet is really good ONCE she gets in the shower. She stands real still while we wet her down and wash her. When it is time for her to get a bath, as soon as she figures out where I'm taking her she starts slowing down and needs to be encouraged. She acts like she's going to prison or something.
My Murphy will fall asleep in the bath.. one second he is standing up and the next it's plop...
Howie plays while I bathe him. He chases the spray, which means water & shampoo splashed everywhere, :roll: I too have a bath!

What temperature water do you tend to use?

I have different temps for each dog.

Chewie liked a barely warm bath. The water is more cool than warm.
Simon loves a hot bath - he actually shivers if it's not hot enough. Tazz the ancient min pin likes it hot - they like everything hot!
The rest are more in the middle. :wink:
