Anything But Cleaning

Well, I am getting ready for Jill to come and visit. I really hate cleaning and will do anything to get out of it.
Today, I convinced myself that before I did the floors I needed to give Suesse a bath. This was a really thorough bath. It included an ear cleaning and a good brushing of the teeth. I must say, that getting her ear cleaned and her teeth brushed are two of her least favorite things. I was having to pry her mouth open and put my hands in her mouth to brush her teeth. She knows that if fingers/hands are in her mouth she can't bite down so it is really the only way to clean her teeth, but man, it was really difficult to get my fingers in there, she as a strong jaw and was determined not to open up. But, this dog has had some nasty breath, so a good brush was the only way!
Now that the bath and torture is over she is sitting her licking herself like a cat. I keep telling her I just cleaned her and to knock it off, but she does not listen.
Suesse's bath time, is always a time for me to remember just how much I miss Kyle. He is usually in charge of the dog's bath...it is more of a shower when he is home. I would never get in the shower with the dog, but he takes full advantage of it and takes a shower himself, so not only do I come out with a clean dog, but a clean husband as well. I am usually just laughing because it is funny to see the dog and Kyle taking a shower together.
I included a picture just to show Kyle that I do bathe the dog when he is away and to prove she survived.
