wash your face in dirty water

After the hike at Red Rock (where Sunny not only fell off a huge boulder and landed on her side, but where she also dipped her entire body in the water at the falls and then covered it in dirt) it was time for a bath. She loves the water. Every time we bathe her, I feel bad we don't have a lake for her to swim in everyday. The kids always crowd around her and scrub her body... and then they talk about how dirty the water is, which always make me sick. Who would have ever thought I would be sharing my prized bathtub with a dog? A dirty one at that.

Sunny's least favorite part of the bath is getting out and being dried off. We have to trap her in a bunch of towels and each dry as fast as we can. She will only sit there for a minute before she shakes the water off herself-- and no one wants to be around for that.

Right as I was snapping this picture, Zack complained about his drying assignment. I wish I would have gotten it on video because it was awesome. In a very annoyed tone he stated, "No fair! I always have to dry her private parts!" As if it's his permanent chore or something. I told him not to worry, next bath he can dry her boobies. She's got a dozen of them (but who's counting?)

Teeter totter,
Bread and water,
Wash your face in dirty water.

Anyone else sing that nonsensical tune on the playground?
