Bathing Brigade time & Momma...

Kathryn is one of the members of TLC's Bathing Brigade... Volunteers who give up one day of their week each week, come into the rescue shop, and bathe dogs... This insures that all of our dogs get a bath at least once a week... 

We have a grooming station set up at the rescue shop... It has a large grooming sink that normally has a step-up inside and then a shelf on top of that which covers the entire width and depth of the sink... Makes it much easier on your back to bathe dogs (or wash dishes)....

I digress here for a few lines... Everyone at the rescue shop has fallen deeply in love with Momma, and she's loving life with us...  Everyone who comes into volunteer at the rescue shop has to give the password with the 'gatekeeper' (Momma)... Password?... "Give me some love, attention and affection - THEN I will let you pass forward"... (smile)... 

Momma is such a happy, happy girl so it is just natural that all of us want to do things for her, spoil her, play with her throughout the day, hug up on her, walk her through her tricks or just plain walk her!... 


So (back on topic), when we need to bathe big dogs, we pull out the step-up and usually one of the guys will lift the dog into the sink... Such is the case with Momma, who Kathryn has been wanting to bathe for a few weeks...And yesterday with the day!

Thankfully Ruben was at the shop and able to lift Momma's 65 pounds into the bathing sink for Kathryn to do her magic and spa treatment!



I don't think Momma was as happy about the bath as Kathryn was!


But the nicest thing about getting a bath at TLC's rescue shop?  The sweet kisses and cuddles that come along with the baths!  I mean, how can you resist these sweet puddles of love???

  1. Momma is a special girl. I gave her an herbal shampoo with a conditioner. She even got her ears cleaned. What a good girl she was.
