We gotta admit, our dogs are beautiful. After all, a tri-color Collie and three sable & white Shetland Sheepdogs:

...make a scene that's quite pleasing to the eye. As a point to verify my feelings, Lyric, the middle Sheltie in the picture above (looking very dejected, by the way!) was once a show dog with two points toward her championship rating!

However, there comes a time when these four pretty dogs need a bath, and that time was yesterday. When the clock struck the infamous hour of about two o'clock in the afternoon, my bride took it upon herself to perform this arduous task. One by one she brought the dogs into the tub for their respective doses of cleanliness. The little Shelties were not that bad but the big Collie is a chore and a half 'cause of his size. At the time of this job I was busy constructing agility jumps and weave poles for our eBay business.

Bath time is now over the dogs are not only beautiful but they're clean, too. Once again, kudos to the bride and her endeavors!
