My husband bathed the dog and.....

[DogbertDogglesworth]

Nearly killed her!
Me and my DH are both on annual leave from our jobs this week and today while I was pottering around in the garden, he decided to bath the dog.
Due to the warm weather we bath her in the garden using a short hosepipe which is attached to the kitchen mixer tap so the water is warm.
I looked round to see the dog, which is a great dane, sat absolutely covered in suds, she looked like a giant sad faced French poodle!
I turned my attention back to trimming my bush. Arf, and left him to it.
Some time later I went inside and sat down with a well earned cup of tea and the dog was laid on the lounge floor, probably dying of shame at the dog next door laughing at her sad faced French poodle impersonation.
Dog decides to come to me because I have biscuits.
Except, every time she tried to move forward on the wood flooring, she did a dancing on ice impression. Legs going everywhere but moving nowhere! I was so fascinated that I almost held a card up with 10/10 for presentation and style 😂
My DH came into the room and told me that after her bath, while he was grooming her, he thought her pads felt rough and dry, so he had slathered them with my hand cream!!
Words failed me as I got a bowl of soapy water and a cloth and washed her paws clean.
I sometimes wonder how my DH single brain cell hasn't died of loneliness!

Sorry just snorted in work. So sad you didn't get a film of that.

Love love love - thank you for sharing. My apologies to the poor dog.

That's hilarious!

She's laid on the floor in front of me glaring at him. I think it's going to take more than a bonio to make friends again 😂

My mum had the frankly odd idea to buy my sausage dog a set of wellies a while ago. Naturally, in the spirit of things we tried them on him. He was not impressed.

Would highly recommend googling ‘dogs in shoes’ to get an idea of the sort of thing we were faced with.

Emergency Grated Cheese had to be dispatched as an apology

I loved this post - thank you for making me smile after a long day at work. I do not have a dog but my 2 cats behave like one. No, one of the 2 cats behaves like a dog. The other cat behaves like a psychopath.

Ooooh - i have laminate flooring in the hall and an excitable spaniel.... how much hand cream will I need?

Oh your poor dog! And silly DH! 🤣😂🤣

I hope the hand cream was from a tube and not a pot? Either way DH owes you more hand cream and DDog a huge apology! 🐕

Looking at the remains of the tube, I would say about half of a tube @SoupDragon
It was a tube @Happynow001 Nivea no less!

My mum's been away for the weekend... When she got back I called out to Bumbledog "Grannies home!!" He hurtled out of the dining room into the hall his paws went out from under him and THUD he landed on his chin on the laminate floor... 🤔

I would have been creased at that @Elderflower14😂

Oh that is so funny.
(I hope your bush is neatly trimmed too.)

Always @Rachelover40. A well trimmed Bush always looks nice. Arf 😛

I'm jealous, no one takes any notice of my bush nowadays , trimmed or untrimmed .

Come and bath my dog @Rachelover40, you can trim the bush with noticeable results

And save the dog from further humiliation.

Perhaps I have a sense of humour failure but it don’t find this remotely amusing. Your dog could could have easily broken a leg due to your DH’s stupidity. I wonder how you’d have felt if this was the case? Would you be laughing then? Apart from that, what if your dog had licked it’s paws and became unwell due to the whatever the hand cream contained?

However, I await the “you have no sense of humour” comments. 🙄.

My dh puts coconut oil on the dog’s paws. I think he read it somewhere. The dog thinks it’s delicious and licks if off the first paw before he’s finished the last one.

😂😂🐕🐩

Reminds me of our dog suddenly spotting aunt's cat. Shot off in a straight line, cat made a swift getaway. Dog was used to carpet not well polished tiled floor, tried and utterly failed to corner and glided on in style straight into the wall 3m ahead. (She was fine but mighty miffed.)

This is the best post I've read today thanks for making me laugh. I have 3 dogs and could picture it well 😂

I wonder how you’d have felt if this was the case? Would you be laughing then?

No. I would have cried instead at the size of the vet bill.

Then cried again at the size of the funeral bill for my 'stupid' DH.

@thirdfiddle

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s made my day, hope the poor pooch has super soft paws in the morning.

I very much enjoyed reading that - gotta love him for trying? 🤷‍♀️

Also, I don't not condone putting anything in a dog that isn't for a dog and that your doggie slipping or perhaps hurting themselves isn't funny....but as the pooch is ok.....I really laughed
