Oscar does not seem to hate the bath...it is the TOWEL he hates! He tries to kill the towel when I am rubbing the excess water off of him...then he hides his face from the blow dryer...it is so funny...and then the wide open run thru the house...it is like they can run out from under the experience or something...every dog I have ever had ran like that after a bath...what was fun was when it was a 100 pound American Bulldog tearing thru the house!
