I have survived, slightly moistened but otherwise uninjured. Mr Woof is now safely out of the bath and in his robe, attempting to recover from the trauma by drying himself off on the carpet.
Phew!!
I remember as a kid, I was the one usually assigned dog bath duty. We had a Samoyed...
At least when he was soaked right through both layers of his coat, the extra weight made him so heavy that resisting was too much effort and he just chilled out.
Mr Woof is fortunately much smaller and while he has long hair it is not that thick. I also have a nice setup with a raised bath and a collar that clips to the side of the tub so he can't jump out. It's primarily the dog shakes that are the problem, Mr Woof wants to make sure if he has to be wet I do too.
