Does your pet want to join you in the bathroom?

Great story, Miranda ! ! I can just visualize all of that happening as I was reading your narrative of the episode.
Most dogs , even when they like water, do not seem to enjoy having to take a bath for some reason. I do think that they like it better when their owner is also in the shower with them though. I once had a beautiful white Boxer, and when I got her; she hated having a bath. I had to drag that big dog into the bathtub. After the bath, I was as wet and sudsy as she had been.
The next bath, I decided it made more sense just to take the shower along with her, and I dragged her in again.
She liked it better since I was in the shower with her, and the next shower was even easier.
Eventually, she got to where she just loved getting in the shower and having the warm water running all over her while I scrubbed her back. Since she was all white, she was always needing a bath; so it was good when she decided that she like being bathed.
