It’s so funny how even the toughest looking dog will always look so defeated and pathetic when they are getting a bath. It just must be mortifying for them. Utterly shameful. Humiliating, even.
Go figure. I love my nightly baths. So warm and relaxing…. why can’t dogs learn to love theirs, too?
Awww! Whenever we give our cat a bath she looks like a little rat. She also likes to lay on our bed or couch right after just to torture us right back. One time I tried to use the blow dryer on her so she wouldn’t be cold for hours. Let’s just say I’m not doing that again.
The only reason I knew that was Rigby (other than the fact that why would you be washing someone else’s dog) is that we had a dog very similar to Rigby when I was growing up and she looked just like that only slightly bigger when we bathed her. Daisy-dog. Man I miss that dog.

This picture reminds me of “this is Angelina Jolie without makeup” and the picture looks like the old lady in front of you at the checkout line. Poor Rigby! She looks pitiful.
Rigby noooooo what have they done to you?!?!?!?! This calls for desperate measures. You MUST find and destroy that peanut butter jar. Look in the couch, and her purse. I bet she carries a spare!
I imagine this is similar to what my cat looks like when she gets a bath at the groomers. I should stick around and take a picture for posterity next time!
The EAR HAIR! So scraggly and wet.
My cat peed all over his own tail once, and we had to bathe him, and it was the saddest thing ever. I lost a little respect for him when I saw him wet. Not so regal now, are ya little buddy??
Just try washing a 16 pound , fiesty, all white cat who has rolled around in obviously some dead carcass out in the bogs in the wooded park behind your house. As this was our Boomer, who would break screens out of windows to get outside , the ONLY safe way for all involved was to put in in his large , large size carrier and use the hose at first. Then pour warm , soapy water in with it tipped on it’s side. Last , but not least PRAY when we opened the carrier and GRABBed him with all our might to towel him down. This is the same cat that would walk into the lake up to his chin to be swimming with his girls or go sailing on a wet board sail boat with my husband. Favorite sport was frogging, even if totally wet doing it !
Future cats have all been INDOOR cats !
You think cats are bad? Try having to bathe a rabbit three times in a row, each with a different medicinal soap!?!?!?! The rabbit was really sick and that was the treatment.

Angel says:

Neeroc says:
