Vizsla Bath Time

It's a rainy day in Florida.  But lucky Ralphie got to the dog park early this morning before this rain rolled in.  There were only two other dogs at the park, probably because it was early and it rained last night so dog owners anticipated mud puddles.  And they were right!   It doesn't matter to me if the park was a little wet, after all that makes it just more fun for the pups.  A German Shepard was there that played hard with Ralphie.  They wrestled, rolled around, running FAST, Ralphie being chased. LOL They both had a great one-hour workout!  It's time to cool off ... plop in the big mud puddle!  Yes, Ralphie knows how to cool down...doesn't matter how muddy, how icky the water is ... it feels good!

I only bathe Ralphie with soap and water about four times a year.  Bathing a V too often will dry out their coat and it won't have that beautiful silky look.  Vizslas are very cat-like keeping themselves clean.  Between baths he is hosed down with plain water or I use baby wipes to keep him fresh and clean.  But today was a true-blue bath day ... in the tub, soaped up, and scrubbed.  It's not his favorite thing to do but boy he loves getting out of the tub and rubbed down with a soft fluffy towel!

This pup has the life (and so do I)!

In the tub all soapy!

All clean!
