Lol I think you are right. He wanted to hide that toy from me!

Well the glorious thing about the lake is after all the sand and fun, I take him into the water with me, sans life jacket and I rinse all that sand out, and wash his beard and privates. So very fast and simple to do, of course I use biodegradable shampoo, and then a leave in conditioner. Then he goes up with me to the deck to dry off and get brushed out, while Moms has a glass of wine. Well that is after I do the same thing to the big boy. It works really well too, as our cottage had very little sand tracked into it. We are going again next year to that cottage we loved it so much! Although I have to hear the sounds of them whining to go back into the water, while I cook dinner, but then after dinner we go for a nice long walk, so they are somewhat appeased.

But for the YOrkie it literally takes only 5 minutes to shampoo him totally and another 5 minutes to totally rinse him out! Then maybe 20 minute brush out. The big boy is quite another matter. But still much faster than at home, and I let them air dry in the warm sun, so I don't have to blowdry the coats. But still with daily brushing for the big boy it only takes about 90 minutes or so to get him right as rain again.
