Drove up to my bro’s place today. Kept telling Benny that he was going to have a good time — running, playing with the other dogs, etc.
Bro’ and I were in the vineyard looking at all the buds popping out. I glanced around to see where Benny had wandered off to.
He was definitely having a great time. His feet were waving in the air so enthusiastically!
Ohhhh Noooo! He had gotten under the electric fence into the cow pasture! Groan! He was green and the fur on his ruff was standing in spikes!
It took a while to get the hose on him (he’s not a fan of water). Vic added lots of shampoo. Benny wasn’t terribly cooperative.
I had a couple of old towels in the trunk, dried Benny with one. The other, Vic spread across the back of Benny’s seat in the van.
What a long drive home! Fortunately, my eyes didn’t water too much so I could see where I was going.
Thankfully, there’s an exterior door in our Master Bath. I closed the door to the bedroom and blocked the dog door so Benny had no chance to go anywhere other than the shower.
Done two loads of laundry. One for the towels after his bath and the other for the towels in the van (along with my socks). One of the towels looks like it is permanently stained.
His collar and seat harness got hand washed. Hopefully enough.
Lisa will be here in the morning. We’ll be cleaning my chair — Benny shook just after being hosed.
Through it all (I must compliment Sara), she kept her lunch down. The other ladies of the house were fortunate enough to be in bed with severe allergies. And their dogs were inside with them.
