The dales get new toys and a hose down

G'day maties,
The pinkies think a hose down before a walk on a hot day is an act of kindness......we beg to differ. We do our very best to avoid the situation as you will see in the following video. Unfortunately there is nowhere to hide and in turn we each give in.


The day wasn't a complete disaster. We did get some new toys when the pinkies returned from their hunting expedition.

Have a great weekend everyone!!
Hugs and tail wags,
Noah

We can sure see that none of you are too happy at being hosed down! We wouldn't like it either! The new toys made up for it though!
Enjoy your walk!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

I think Pinkies are doing it for their own amusement. The horror! And what's up with the hosing your hinney? There are four of you and only two of them. If you work together maybe you can pin them down and see how they like getting hosed.

Molly and Gertrude said...

That was so funny! We can't believe how willingly you were each led to the hose.....or do you actually secretly enjoy it??
We wish it was hot and sunny here - it has rained ALL day - we only have to go outside for 30 seconds to get drenched here!

Love Mol and Gert

Hey Guys! That's just not on is it. Having the poop shoot on the interweb!!! Especially in such horrendous circumstances (I don't like hose pipes!). Noah - I do the leg shaking thing too - apparently the pinkies reckon I'm after sympathy! How are you getting along with anti b's?

I like for everyone to think I'm quite miserable getting hosed and soaped down. But secretly, I love it because that means it's HOT outside and I love to bake in the sun :)

Nice to meet you!

Amber-Mae said...

Well, I think getting hosed down on a very hot day is well worth it! But I still don't like bathing actually. I hope those toys made you guys happy!

Love licks,

Lorenza said...

Hi, friends!
I can see your not so happy face! I bet the best part was the after bath shaking!
I have to admit that I love when my mom does that to me! I am waiting for hot and sunny days!
Enjoy your new toys!
Kisses and hugs

parlance said...

Wow! Noah! What a great idea. Why haven't I thought of something so simple? It's stiflingly hot here, amazingly (and scarily) hot for mid-March and I think we'll try the hosing-thing before we go walking. Though we can't hose Penny until those stitches come out - the vet was adamant on that point.

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

That's not so bad, at least you will be cool. Louie loves playing with the hose himself. He drags it all over the yard trying to hose everyone in range.. Biting at the water that comes out. He always ends up totally drenched..

Hi Noah and the girls,

As long as you get toys after your spray down with water-maybe it's ok!!!! I don't like getting sprayed! But was it a nice walk???

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Noah...how hot was it that the pinkies felt ya had to be tortured like that??? 110? 120!! A sensible Lakie or fox terrier would bite the water, the hose AND the pinkies if they felt like it...heheheheheheh!!!! Babystan will just stand there probably like you guys being led like a lamb to the slaughter....REVOLT!! They call your name...RUN!!!! And I mean the other way!

Oh...great butt shot, Noah...

I know a good attorney...

Lacie

Agatha and Archie said...

Well NONE of you looked too pleased to be there and NOAH!!!!! You let your butt be hosed down ON TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We agree with Lacie...we would have gone down kicking......or tried to...Love A+A

Kirby said...

Hi Noah, Lucy, Tess and Willow,

WOW, you all are sure good to come when called, especially with the the hose out. I would have run as far away as I could, even if my parents were calling me. He he! I hope the water cooled you off for your walk. It must of been awfully hot down there. I can't wait for hot, I'm so tired of cold. Sigh.

Your pal,
Kirby

I think you were all good, considering, in getting hosed down! I like how the pinkie was spraying you all with the hose at the end. Mom does that to me. I try to bite at the water, ha rooo!

erin said...

Noah, That does look like torture to me! I think baths with warm water are bad enough, but getting hosed down with ice cold water sounds just miserable! I'm sure I'd be shivering if that were me. Whenever it's bath time, I try to hide from my girl. She always seems to find me though and then she carries me to the tub. I get revenge on her after it's over by using her legs as a towel. I also use the couch to rub myself dry.
Woof,
Keeley

Girl Girl Hamster said...

Yeah to new toys!! Do you doggies smell like flowers after the bath?

p.s. thanks for your kind words about our brother Fritzy's passing on Saturday. We all really appreciated it, especially our mom.

Finni said...

Blimey Noah. I can tell by your tail you're not too keen. You are all very good holding still like that, you definitely deserve those toys!!!

Hi Mates
Rose and me hate being hosed down and we hate being bathed. It's good the pinkies made up for it by bringing you home new toys.
Hope you all enjoy your Easter weekend, and the weather is not too hot for your walks.
Love from Hammer

Hi From California, Thanks Noah for visiting my blog, It's exciting having a friend on the other side of the world. I just moved into my new home about a week ago, and so far things are going well. My best friend is a sweet airedale named Neko, I love your blog and look forward to knowing you better. Do you mind if I ad you to my links? Thanks Roma, The Italian Shepherd

Snowball said...

Noah, I see why you are the pack leader now. You are more calm and confident when you are facing the hose which all of you dun like.

Do you bath after the walk? Won't your fur stink but wetting your coat like that?

Luv
Snowball
