Rainy days, muddy hair, pain in the butt for Mama ...

Whenever it rains Mama goes: Uh-oh! and I understand. I'm hairy, big time, and when most of that hair gets wet and muddy when I come back from my potty walks, she has to towel dry me and then blow dry me with the hairdryer. I'm a good boy and let her do the work without moving too much because I know my favorite reward awaits me! All that drying process lasts about 40 minutes.
Now multiply 40x3(number of walks per day) and you can feel the pain for Mama! This is only in the best case scenario! When the hair is muddy, she has to rinse me and almost give me a whole bath! Add 20 more minutes to the basic drying time! I'm so lucky! 3 walks a day and all this pampering!
And this can go on to the next couple of days even if it doesn't rain because the grass and the ground are still wet from the rainy day. The dryer doesn't bother me at all anymore. When I was little, my Mom put me in the crate and blew dry me through the grid, I was so traumatized! It was a long process till I finally made friends with the hairdryer, I really love it when it blows its warm breath in my hair but why can't it do it without damaging my ears?
I have some shots of the rainy days hair to share with you all below:

MUDDY!



WET!



UH-OH!

I like how your furs look curlier when they get wet. I have never been Outside when it is rainy before. I might be too scairt.

Yes Sushi... Rainy days are really something!!! I just hate them!!! I do like, better saying, love cold days... but rainy days nobody deserve them.
Salvador (where I live) is a very very hot city during the whole year even when it's winter... but it rains a lot and sometimes we get stuck at home because the streets become real rivers (literally speaking)! I do prefer kinda cold weather, with not too low temperature... this way we can wear a coat what makes us a little more elegantly dressed and in fashion.
Give your mommy and Daddy a kiss.
See ya.

Mee too Marzie, I hate to get wet. I shake so much that I end up getting water all over the place.

Sushi said...

Do you really Daisy? Ok, because then I'm curly like you! You're lucky to have your bathroom indoors.

Hi Aunty! Mama told me about taking a "boat" to school on rainy days. The city was not made for those days. She said sometimes the rain was necessary to cool them off. Are you wearing a coat there, really? Woofies XX

Hey Farah, yeah I like to get in the water for my bath but don't really like the rain. Thanks for the compliment. I also stopped at your blog once to say your apples are the cutest or something like that. Have a good day!
