The weather was beautiful this weekend.
The dog has been in need of a bath.
No extra cash flow for pet smart.
4 free willing dog washers
1 large dog
1 hose
and an hour of fun and squeels!
PRICELESS
1. You must first capture the BEAST. (Kekoa likes to be washed liked this. He just loves for anyone to scratch his belly. He wants to lay down.
2. Must ensure that the coat is completely wet.
3. Use scrubbing mitts and your favorite dog shampoo! The mitts allow you to brush any dead hair off the dog while washing. He loves this part because it feels like a good brushing.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET WATER IN THIS BREEDS EAR! YOU WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE AN EAR INFECTION!
AFTER EACH BATH OR SWIM APPLY A GENEROUS SQUIRT OF EPI-OPTIC to EACH EAR TO DRY WATER ANY WATER THAT MAY HAVE REACHED THE INNER EAR CANAL!
4. Rinse, and rinse again.
5. TURN ON CD SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE, SHAKE YOUR BOOTY! SHAKE your BOOTY! This will help you tolerate the bath you will soon receive compliments from your dog.
Sing it wit me:: Shake
shake
shake (notice how high his ear is flapping??)
SHAKE YOUR BOOTY
SHAKE YOUR BOO-TY
It's a guy thing. It happens. I guess he shook a little too hard. Remember this post with Dash? See, I got their backs or maybe their fronts... it's all good.
Dry with towel, starting with head or allow to thoroughly air dry on a VERY WARM day.

L♥ve it! Hope you have a beautiful and sunny day! ♥ HUGS ♥
All this "getting back to basics" can be fun after all.
Look at you- havin fun with your kids, doing something that use to cost a lot of money!
How did you do "oops" on the pic?
Glad you got to do it as a family. :)
That sounds very exciting. How wet did all of you get while he was shaking?
Gives a whole new meaning to Solomon surprises!
One more reason I don't have a dog!
Although it looks like you had a lot of fun!
I'm amazed that you were able to get your kids to help you wash your dog and they look like they're having fun doing it!
My son has always wanted a dog, but he is alergic to most animals especially dogs. So for years on his birthday he would ask for the following in this order a brother, a dog, a cat, bird and a sister was last on the list.
My dogs would RUN anytime they had a bath. Scared to DEATH of water!!
Ok the OOPS and the BUTTERFLY on dash cracks me the heck up! I need to learn how to do that! lol
I'm impressed that you all can make it look like so much fun to wash a dog. I've only bathed cats and I have the scratches on my arm to prove it!
Nicely done. I wish our lab would let us wash him. Whoever had him before us must have tortured him with water because he's a big chicken. And labs are supposed to like to swim, but he freaks out.
Seriously AWESOME!!!!
I love that it's warm enough to be outside in shorts!
LuCKY!!
How do you feel about a quilt that has a few Christmas prints in it?? I doesn't look like a Christmas quilt....be honest!
I love how the whole fam gets involved!!!
Umm....how dare you put that bubbles game at the bottom of your blog.....I have things to do ya know????????
I want just kidding about the quilt part....I thought I was on another blog!
Silly Kritta.
I'm a tease!!
THat is aweome! I love thosse bull mastiffs! My favorite!! I saw a Mastiff mixed with a boxer this weekend! HUGE!What a fun dog!
He is so gorgeous!! LOL!
Now that's what I call teamwork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was one serious bath! Way to document it :D
I just thought I'd stop by and say "Hi" - We comment on and have alot of blogs in common so I thought we might be friends!
Have a GREAT week!
P.S. The quote at the top of your blog is one of my all time favorites - Good JOb!!
Love it!! Fun family project!

I loved talking to you "forever" you just crack me up. I just knew you would be a great friend.
I love your dog! He is the coolest ever. Someday I want one.
Great post, and hysterical pictures! And I promise not to edit your blog. :)
This is the funniest post. I was dying because I was laughing so hard!
This is too funny. I love that it took the whole family to give the bath. Out little baby weighs about 10 lbs and it takes 3 of us.
Such a cute post and so fun. Great info for their ears! Its true!!!!
that is wonderful, now do you want me to teach you how to eat him..
totally kidden.. fob joke!!
hugs.
Love your blog! We are actually thinking about getting a mastiff...i'll keep you updated!
Thanks for coming over to my blog. I appreciate your comments. Maybe I'll look at how to remove the comment word verification thingy. I know it can be a pain in the bum.
Washing a dog that big looks like no easy feat but you make it look fun. Great pics!
Great pictures! I'm so glad we don't currently have a dog. Although my kids would tell you just the opposite.
Thank you for your awesome comments on my blog. I love "meeting" new people and discovering new blogs!!
Looks like a lot more fun than pet smart! M
That was amazing!! I have a dog that hates baths so now I am inspired with your ideas and encouraged. Thanks for the pictures, I am a visual learner!! I am so happy to be your friend on MMB!!
You crack me up. Love those pics.Looks like a fun time had by all.
SOrry, I'm playing catch up with my blog reading again. I missed wishing Happy Birthday to your handsome Warrior. Hope he had a great one!
that looks like a huge chore.
and i love your header picture!!!
Mine needs a bath. I see us doing the same thing very soon.
What about the most important step which is "race around the yard in circles for no apparent reason for 5 mintes"? That is my favorite post washing activity.
Love the detailed pics! Looks to hard to me!!
ok, a friend of mine has an English Mastiff. it is HUGE!!!!!!! and maybe a little more cranky than yours looks like. Is yours a puppy????
That is a bigger chore than washing my car!
Wow.
Who knew that excessive shaking does that to a dog?! I didn't! But it's funny.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! That is one large dog.
Haha, I love it!! What a BIG dog! And a beautiful family!!
I always just take my dog to Petsmart... He hates when I wash him.
PS: I love the censorship! That's great!
What a sweet furbaby...he does so good to stand there for you to wash him.
