dogs & car washes

Ok, I learned my lesson (maybe), don't take the dog through the automatic carwash (inside the car).  I always find it peaceful, the soapy water pouring over the outside of the car.  My mom's little Australian Silky Terrier tried to tunnel between my legs to the floor board, shivering.

I didn't even think about it.  I was going out for a drive (and a carwash), and decided to take the dog with me.  Like I said, I find it kind of peaceful being in the calm of the storm, with all the sudsy water coursing down the windows.  I stroked her and held her through the whole thing, she doesn't realize that it was my fault (which it is), again after it was over she had a new ecstatic attitude towards life.

Terrifying brush!  A new leash! good one<grin>...

I am laughing at my own stupidity, and how despite my stupidity, it turned out alright.

Dogs like speed. Just about every canine ever born wants to hang it's head out the window when the car is in motion. I remember our old dog was transfixed by being aboard a horse drawn cart once. But soap? The act of being cleaned like that reduced our poor pet to physical nausea. That little terrier in the post above was a true survivor :D
