Bath time

Ken filled a plastic storage bin with warm water and dog shampoo and set Tasha down into it. This was inside the old shower in the utility room. She stayed calm and let Ken give her a good washing. Then he lifted her out of the water, emptied the basin, and rinsed her off. She was a very good dog.

Although she doesn't look very happy, she was actually quite calm and didn't try to jump out of the tub.

After a brief towel-off, we let Tasha outside to run around and dry. We picked Tuesday because it was predicted to be the hottest day, and we weren't disappointed. I threw one of her balls around for her to chase and it wasn't long before she was essentially dry.

Drying off outside.

This morning we take Tasha to the vet for her stérilisation, as they call it. She'll be quite groggy for a while when she comes home later today. Walks outside the yard will have to wait for a few days, until her scar heals.
