That's exactly what these kids do when they get a stick...they stop moving and/or sit down until the obstacle is cleared...LOL. They don't like being dirty...unless they are digging, or grinding their faces into a 'sniffy hole' in the dirt...then they don't give a whit.
They get baths all three of them at the same time in the shower because they like the hand held rain head and I like the great rinse coverage, and to be able to set the temp and then just turn the water on and off as needed.
You're right, though, they really do get our best, and very special treatment...but, IMHO, they more than deserve it.
