Whew!

Washing dogs is hard work! That was totally my cardio for the day! Not only is washing dogs hard work, it's also mildly entertaining. I find it hilarious that neither of my dogs can look me in the eye when I'm bathing them. It's like I'm wronging them in the worst possible way. But when they get done, it's like they won the lottery -- running around, jumping, rolling on the floor. So silly!

It does make me really sad to see how old Ginger is getting, though. When I give her a bath in the bathtub, she can't get in and out herself anymore. I have to lift her in and out. She is also losing her hearing. She can't hear me whistle for her. She can only hear me yell for her. I've noticed some stiffness in getting up and sitting down as well. While none of these things are really all that bad, especially for a 12 year old dog, it still breaks my heart. I mean, it was just yesterday that she was a puppy! She's my baby, though, and always will be.
