The Dog Days of Summer

Well, like most of the country in August, it is HOT here!  I am a summer girl. I really love the pool, sunshine and sun tans; but it never fails around August, I am always ready for Fall.  We are ready for the Sooners (NUMBER ONE RANKED SOONERS) to start playing and things to cool down.  Today on this hot day of Summer, Allison was kind enough to help me give Margo a bath.  It is tough to bathe Margo. She's an Airedale Terrier and like most Airedale Terriers, she hates water.  So she really hates me squirting her with a water hose.  She's smart enough to know what is about to occur on bath days as well, so we have to catch her!  This is an adventure in itself!

 She dislikes the heat as much as she dislikes water, so luckily it does not take too long to catch her.

In fact, she slowed down enough for the Assistant Groomer to really strike a pose!

Speaking of which, here are more official pictures of my trusty assistant!

Well, we got through it!  Poor Margo is outside still drying.  She is not too happy with her situation, but she has to feel better!  Here she is right after we finished her bath!

As much as she hates the process, she posed rather proudly!  Maybe her next bath will involve a Fall breeze.  Well, here's to hoping anyway!  Stay cool!
