I had bathed Taylor twice in the backyard (when it was 80 and sunny), but used the garden hose. He didn't like that cold water at all!!! It was a struggle to hold his leash and him and bathe him.
Last week, I remembered I have a set-tub in the laundry room, so I connected a hose to that set-tub faucet and ran warm water through the hose. I didn't even have to hold the leash (or him)!!!
By the time I was rinsing him off from the second shampooing, his eyes were half closed and his mouth was hanging open a little, LOL.
