Archie made me smile today. After another walk in the rain, he came back filthy and in need of a shower. He has a little towelling robe, which helps to dry him, but his legs and tummy stay damp for ages.
I got the hairdryer out to see if he wanted a blow-dry. He sometimes does. I know this because when I am drying my hair, he waits by the side of me.
Today I got the hairdryer out especially for him. He stood there, turning this way and that, enjoying the warm air on his little body.
It’s such a contrast to when he was a pup. In those days he didn’t have a towelling robe. I didn’t know there were such things for dogs! Every time he had a bath, I’d dry him afterwards with the hairdryer. He didn’t like it at all, and my husband had to come and help hold him. Ten years on and Archie loves having a blow-dry.
