was minding my own furry business when I was picked up and
cuddled by Dove. I love when she does that! I was cooed over and petted, enjoying being spoiled with love . . . when she suddenly placed me on a towel in the sink. I quickly realized I had been here before. I hadn't much cared for the experience then and I wasn't keen on a repeat. Dove! Wait! Stop! I want out! I wiggled and squirmed and twisted and turned, giving my best Lola moves to escape. I do not want to be here . . . . .
it was a hot 90 degrees outside and I had just come
back indoors from playing catch for 20 minutes,
I need time to be refreshed with more than the drink of water and ice cube I had been given to enjoy!
So I wiggled and I struggled with all my 8 pounds of squirming self
but, doggone it all, Dove held me firmly in place. I tried making one more attempt to escape . . . ready, set, go . . . but . . . then
a light spray of warm water began trickling softly down my back, soaking my fur and oooh it felt so good!
especially when Dove began massaging my little self
with sudsy bubbles, then rinsed me with that warm refreshing water. She even did it a second time! Aaah! This feels sooo good! I turned this way and that so that she could wash my beautiful furry self all over.
I loved getting my legs, paws, chest, belly, and tail wet. This was great! Hey, not my head! Watch the hairdo, Dove!
Well, okay, that was a quick double wash and rinse but I think one head washing would be enough!
After a final rinse Dove wrapped me in a big, soft towel and held me close, cooing that I was such a good girl!
I like hearing that. "Pretty baby," she said. "You smell so goood, you feel sooo soft!" More, more, tell me more! Papa was there too. He took me from Dove and we went outside where he dried me off repeating everything Dove said! Oooh I do have to say, I looove hearing these compliments! After Papa put me down I shook my beautiful wet self over and over spraying him with water before he could get away! It was fun watching Papa trying to run away from me! He doesn't run very fast and I caught up with him in no time and shook water on him again!
I ran lickety-split through the grass in the backyard
letting the hot air and breeze dry my fur. Papa even played catch with me for a little while. When Dove came outside to sit on the swing she lifted
me up and gently brushed my fur. Ooooh! I am such a lucky puppy, I even
got a treat when we went back inside, because, even if I do say so myself, I, Lola Grace, a very sweet puppy, deserved one. Yawn! I'm feeling sleepy. I think I'll curl up, take a nice long nap
and dream about all the lovely 'Showers of Love' I received this day. ~ Goodnight!
