(Apologies to those on dial up - series of Pooka photos follow)
Pooka has mixed feelings about water.
She likes playing in puddles. This means she gets quite dirty on occasion. Last week was one of those occasions, and I had to dump her in the bath when we got back. It looked like this when I'd pulled her out:
She looked like this:
She's tied up because she had to be inside to dry (it being night time and cold) but couldn't be trusted to roam free with steak cooking in the griller. I'm not sure if her health insurance covers griller-mouth.
So she loves puddles, but hates baths. Not sure what the deal is with that.
She also loves hoses:
Hence wherever possible I hose her instead of giving her baths. It does not appear to have had any detrimental effects on her coat. And it also gets gunk out of her eyes much easier than a cotton ball and saline!
