Mister Higgins Gets A Bath!

The Duchess waited to give Mister Higgins his first bath until he settled in a bit. He had been through so many changes she wanted him to feel secure in his new family before adding a bath to the new experiences.
I never got a bath with toys in the sink!
And PEANUT BUTTER! My gosh, this is totally unfair!



And he looks like he's loving that peanut butter too!

But not so much, the bath itself.






He's really working this, you know? Look at that "sad" face!




Pathetic!



Back to the peanut butter - See, he's not traumatized at all!



Well ok - he's probably getting cold.



He does look kind of confused. . .



Hugs always help. Every single time!


And this is where I was during the momentous occasion.
Stuck behind the gate.

But I did finally get invited in. And the Duchess made a movie. She is not very good at movies - trust me. You may want to turn your speakers off. Ha ha ha - Sorry, but I couldn't help myself!





Kisses!

  2. I love it!!! Poor Mister Higgins..what an ordeal getting his first bath! The video is hilarious...I am still laughing. He must have worn himself out doing that! Hey Emma Rose..you looked rather concerned at the end of the video...I think you care more than you are telling us. You all are beautiful and I hope Mister Higgins has calmed down and is sleeping now. First baths are very stressful for puppies.

  3. CUTENESS OVERLOAD! I LOVE THE VIDEO! I was giggling so hard watching him scoot his head all over the floor, then Emma watching him all concerned. LOL Adorable!

  4. Emma,

    The good news is that he can only play the puppy cuteness card for so long, then he grows up! My mom laughed and laughed over that video. I'm not sure what humans find so hilarious about giving us baths!

  7. Now I love the water - so a bath is a great idea - but who knew you get get PEANUT BUTTER and a bath all at the same time.

    Poor Mr. Higgins - it tough tryingto get that clean dog smell off of you - try rolling in the dirt (or better yet - MUD). That will show 'em!

  10. That scootch along the rug was just adorable! We used to do that when we were little and got a bath but now we only go wacko for a minute or two - expends too much energy☺

    That Mister Higgins is pretty cute. His video made Mom giggle at his silliness. I can't imagine fitting in the kitchen sink for my bath, that would be a pretty funny sight!
