Marmaduke


I confess, I have a large dog. Not one that's 5'8" like Marmaduke, but still a large one. So sometimes I get Marmaduke.

But today, ummmmm, no. Maybe people with small dogs give them baths in the tub. But a medium or big dog? That's in the backyard with a hose. I couldn't really even restain my dog to get it into the tub in the first place, and he's not even a psycho-killer like Marm.

Does anyone actually wash their dog in a tub?

I've had some smaller dogs, and we washed them in the tub.

Yeah, I agree with tukla.

We wash the little twits in the tub when they're hopelessly messy. Sometimes we go for the sink. (They weigh 12 and 8 pounds and are barely a foot tall.)

My 50 pound chow mix, though, she gets an outside washing with a hose, I'd never try to wash her in the bathtub! That's insane.

One of our favorite ways to wash the boys is to get in the shower in a bathing suit and t-shirt, turn the shower on, and just let the water run over them while we scrub.

They hate this.

But if it's raining outside, they must get wet.

Yeah, I would wash my 100# dog in the tub, too, if it were 10 freaking feet long as this one appears to be...

We wash my thirty pound dog in the tub. I only wash her with the hose when I don't want her getting whatever mess she was in on my furniture.
