Pooch believes that his food is his (he’s welcome to it), but he also believes my food is his and he can get quite vocal if he thinks he might not get any

It was a really nice day today, the sun was shining and it was peaceful. I did four loads of laundry, which included all the bedding, throws etc as it was getting a bit “doggy smelly”, as Pooch is a week overdue for his pampering and I’ve not even managed to give him a bath
That changed today. Necessity is the mother of invention, or so I’m told. Well, Pooch may not have approved, but it was a definite necessity
Imagine if you will, one of those picnic tables, where the two bench seats are attached, the type of thing found in many pub beer gardens. We have those by our pitches. Today it became a bathing table
For no reason I can think of, at some stage in my life I acquired one of those bottles that fit in a water fountain, the type found in office corridors. Don’t ask ... I just have one
A quick hunt around and I found it (there’s not a lot of places such a thing can hide on a pitch in a field. I popped it in the car, drove up to the shower block, filled it with hot water and drove back down. It was far to heavy to carry and I’m not sure the boss would have approved. TBH, he should open the dog wash area and then it wouldn't be an issue, but ...
So, Pooch was placed on the table, I decanted water from the bottle to a large jug, added shampoo and got started. He had two shampoos, plenty of conditioner and a very good rinse. He was so good, that I took off his collar and lead and he just stood there. He was in the sunshine and I did keep telling him what a good boy he was
I then laid a large towel on the grass in the sun and called him over. He rolled about a bit and then sat patiently while I combed him and gave him a very quick very uneven trim. The hair cut is going to be continued over the next few days.
However. He now smells much nicer, he’s fluffy and he’s very clean.
After such a chilled day ... I did an extra shift
The icing on the cake ... I worked with someone for the second time today, she’s very experienced, but new to this company and she said ... I’m the person she most likes to work with
wooo hooo ? ? ? ?
