Today we spent all day at the lake; he was playing the in water with Sakura, rolling in the leaves, running around like a crazy man.... not to mention the fact that he was a shade of orange by the time we were ready to leave. But knowing that he had to be exhausted, I figured we would just give him a bath tomorrow and let him rest all evening. Well, he had other plans!
After being pretty worn out myself, I decided I was going to take a bath when I got home. So I brought Cupid upstairs with me and closed him in the bathroom so that I could keep an eye one him. He was quite interested in the water filling the tub (probably b/c he likes to chase the hose outside biting at & drinking from it).... anyways my tub has a step to get in and he was standing on it just watching, but when I decided to get it... so did he!
As I was watching him, I'm thinking "no way is he really going to get in here; he's going to realize there is water in it and say forget it"........ not the chase. So as he puts his front feet in and pauses, I'm again thinking " no way is he going to get all the way in"... I was wrong! He climbed all the way in the tub and proceeded to sit down next to me & drink some water from the facet, as if he had done it 1000 times before.
Now, as funny as it is, I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about the fact that he was in the tub with me... b/c he was orange with Lake Lanier filth! But seeing that he was already in the tub; I went ahead and gave him a bath (lucky I had all the dog stuff on edge of tub). He loves the mitt I use to soap him up with, so he continued to sit peacefully and give me kisses while he got his bath/massage. I swear I have never......
Now, since the bath water was pretty gross when it came time to rinse (again not thrilled to be sharing the water with him), I ran fresh water to pour over him. Well, this wowed him b/c the faucet was back on! He started biting at it & drinking from it.... then he proceeded to put his entire face under it. By this rate, I am Cracking up and wish I had a video camera... then realize it couldn't be recorded anyways... well... b/c I was naked.
Anywho, then if he couldn't be any more comical, I begin to drain the water from the tub and as the water starts to go down the drain, he starts to dig at it vigorously,splashing & making a mess... as if trying to keep the water from going away .... it was way to funny.
So finally I get him out, dry him off, and begin to brush him "thinking he has got to be really tired".... about that time he conks out cold, and has been asleep in the same position ever since. :)
So glad we decided to keep him b/c I could not be more in love with him.
attached pic of him out cold.
