who needs a playpen when you have a bathtub!!!!.... Lately toby has been sneaking away while we are watching TV to go play with the water that is leftover in the bathtub!!!, he has a great time, he just jumps in and starts splashing around in teh little puddles that are left after a shower, adn tehn when we catch him, he looks up at us like he is saying "WHAT!!!???"..

That is sooo cute, your puppy is adorable! I can't wait till sunday when I can have mine. Only 6 more days to go and a 2 1/2 hour drive.

How funny! Bounce won't go NEAR the tub but my cat LOVES to do the same thing your baby does! I was even in the tub shaving my legs one night and my cat jumped IN the water with me and just SAT THERE!! I thought cats were supposed to hate water. Shouldn't my Yorkie be the one wanting to play in it? hahaha

lilbumbleybees · 03-13-2005, 08:45 PM

ADORABLE! hah! He does have that, "WHAT MOM?!" look on his face. hehe

orinskye · 03-13-2005, 08:47 PM

LMAO........ i didnt even see his funny face that he has in teh first picture on the left hand side.....i was too busy resizing to take a good look at it

You are soooooo lucky!!!!!!!!

Luigi hates getting a bath!!!! We just finished a few minutes ago and I am soaked!!!!

We have been using the utility sink in the bathroom, but today we decided to try the bathtub, thinking he may like it much better!!!! WRONG!!!!!! he jumped out 3x's!!!! Had to chase him with soap all over him!!!

Did Toby always like a bath or did he have to get used to it!!!! Also amy suggestions making this whole experience a much better experience???????

It would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

orinskye · 03-13-2005, 09:02 PM

Toby has always loved baths.... teh guy we got him from was a groomer so he liked getting his nails cut, hair cut, bathed,... ect.... i do give him a good rub down and massage his little body while i am working in teh shampoo, but he pretty much tells me when he wants a bath

you might want to close the shower curtain except for where you are when you are bathing him so he wont get out, and then speak to him in a soothing voice, or play soothing music, you should also make sure youre baby is nice and warm at all times, you dont want to associate a bath with being cold because that will backtrack your efforts

miezzi · 03-13-2005, 09:14 PM

Thanks Orinskye!!!!!

We do make sure he is nice and toasty!!! We turn up the heat (way up) and put a towel in the dryer!!! We even put some of his toys in the tub this time, but no luck!!!! Even gave him treats in the tub and kept saying what a good boy he is!!! Well next time we will try the music and see if that helps!!!! He doesn't shake at the groomers though!!! Isn't that odd????

I stay and watch thru the window!!!!

I am so jealous that Toby loves his bath!!!! What a sweet boy you have!!!! Love the pics!!! I even made Weegie look at them, but he just turned his head!!!! hahaha!!!

fasteddie · 03-13-2005, 10:16 PM

That's great Orinskye!

But at least he's playing in clean water and not muddy puddles outside, right? He totally looks like a little boy getting caught doing something naughty in those pictures you snapped.

orinskye · 03-13-2005, 10:22 PM

dont let the face fool ya, if there were a mud puddle he would be the FIRST one in it, i guarantee it

WhimsicalDaisy · 03-14-2005, 02:55 AM
