Well, the bride decided it was time to give the pack their baths once again. Although they were necessary, her efforts were not met with much enthusiasm from our dogs' collective points of view...

We have four dogs: three very portable Shetland Sheepdogs, each weighing in the range of 22-27 lbs.as well as a monster-sized Collie that weighs about 65 lbs. The three former canines are comparatively easy to handle in that if they don't do what they're told, you can simply pick 'em up and effect your desired response. Then there's Dougie, our Collie.

The Doogulator, as I affectionately refer to him, weighs in at a heart-stopping 65 lbs. I'm therefore so glad that Fairer Sex has opted to take it upon herself to perform this massive chore. I'm a wimp.
