Do tell...we love hearing stories. Plus I could use another laugh...

LOL! Well, Josephine is my little almost 2 yr old, just barely 2 1/2 lb girl. She can not jump up on the side of the tub the way Susanah can. She was throwing a friggin FIT! So while Susanah is prancing all over the edge of the tub (and me), Josephine is up on her little tip toes with her little nose barely peeking over the edge, running back and forth on her hing legs crying. She kept that up the entire time.

Harley is my handsome man. We are very close. He saved my life (long story). He is also my worrywart. So while Susanah is prancing and Josephine is spazzing out, Harley is pacing the bathroom floor looking very worried and throwing a whine in every now and then. I mean, seriously I have to worry about him hyperventilating and/or having a seizure (vets have determined they are stress related) while I'm trying to shave/bathe.

So as you can see, I need a whole darn CASE of Calgon because one bottle ain't gonna cut it in my bathroom!

Thanks for a good belly laugh. My furbabies always lick my legs when I get out of the shower. I no longer even think about closing the bathroom door,

I can almost picture this...what fun your house must be, never a dull moment...not even shaving your legs. Loved the story...keep 'em comin'!!!

3.) Start shaving - move yorkie who has now climbed onto your chest and is trying to catch the razor as you shave

4.) Repeat step 3 until you have managed to shave both legs - this will take 3 times as long as it would if you were in there alone

5.) Get out of tub and dry off - marvel at how the pretty little yorkie girl has managed to prance all over the edge of the tub and you and still not get one precious little hair of hers wet


Or you can choose to do the alternative and lock the pretty little yorkie out of the bathroom and listen to scream and howl like her butt is on fire and hope and pray she doesn't make her paws bleed the way she is clawing at the door or that she doesn't give herself a heart attack. I don't recomend this method. It sucks for both of us and she ends up in the bathroom prancing on the tub anyway.

I have Bichons that do the same thing and Lacy will bring toys and drop them in the tub. She doesn't like a bath, but loves mine and I guess she thinks I need something to play with! I have to be watchful or I'll have two Bichons in the tub with me.

Emmy will sometimes come in the bathroom with me, but for her it's just another opportunity for a nap. We did have a cat who hated to get wet but would sit on the tub and when you got out, he'd lick the water dripping from the faucet.

LOL, love that Southern wit. I haven't had any alone time in the bathroom since Noah arrived. God help me if I even look like I am going to close the door!

You have a great sense of humor and I bet your legs are the cutest stripped hairy legs ever. I dont know how you can possibly manage to get all the hair seeing in between all that Yorkie hair,lol!!

[lilbumbleybees]

lmfao, my guys all sit on the bedroom bed glaring through the bathroom hallway at me as if to say, fine you want to be in THAT room then we own the bed now. Take THAT Mom! hahaha
