More from Thursday_Prompt
Nooooo... nothing urgent. Next week, however, we shall be trying something different for the prompt.
This comes about thanks to my two huskies. The image is of Maui. His sister, not shown here, is Kona.
A word about Huskies - they are born to ignore you. Sometimes they are talkers/singers/screechers. We're lucky in that regard, because ours are very quiet. Trust me, we could be burglared in the middle of the night, and they'd sleep right through it.
So... two days ago, I washed them. That's not as easy as it sounds because they do not like baths. If they even suspect that's your motive for attention, they will avoid you at all cost. I've had to drag/carry/trick them into the bathroom.
The bath is not so bad, but for the following two days, they will dump about ten gallons of fur all over your house. Over the years, I've gotten used to this, and have a whole assortment of combs, brushes, and a vacuum that's very good. I have taken pictures using their fur, and looked just like Santa Claus.
This brings me to next Thursday's prompt. Being it's not a random word, and seeped into my brain during all the combing, You get a heads-up to consider it, and talk it over with your alter-ego.
As your alter-ego, what special consideration/products/devices do you use to effectively take a bath?
*looks at Shelby... because you are a Cat, it is not fair to say you will lick your paw and scrub your face with it.
*looks at Celtic-Kitsune... no fair shape shifting to a short haired something... no no no no...
*looks at FtD, and sighs...
OK then... you get the idea. You are to take a FULL bath.
*looks at Walt... AND NO PLAYING WITH YOU KNOW WHAT!
That's it... till next Thursday then...

There's always a hot tub... and my hot tubs can get pretty hot.

Sorry, but I'm a feral cat, so I do lick myself for bathing. Granted, being a superfloofy longhaired cat, it takes freaking hourrrrrrrrrrrrs and you choke more than once and get a super dry mouth and cramp in your tongue eventually, but that IS the way I do it. End of story >~_^<
My brother has two rescue dogs who are thoroughbred mutts -- both with a rather high percentage of Husky. The older one is a Drama Queen; he complains bitterly about having to wait for meals. I've had a 'new' dog, Genny (Genevieve), for about two months. I think she's an Australian Kelpie but we just did the DNA test Sunday morning.
Bath? Like never. She doesn't smell, doesn't get dirty. She rolled in a dead baby bird a while back and the smell was gone in two hours. I have had a couple of other dogs like that, and some that needed the fire hose every Saturday night. Camilla, my last dog, had a bath the morning I brought her home. She lived almost 13 years and never needed another.

wow... I never realized some don't need baths... mine are like dust mops.
question for you - the male is having urinary over frequent problems. I've had him to the vet twice now and nothing shows up on the tests. He does drink a lot of water. It is hot out, but we keep the house cool. Ever run into something like that?

Maybe if my doctor figures out what causes my frequent urination (approaching 70, Type II Diabetes, diuretics, coffee addiction). And more blood tests Friday for two more doctor appointments Monday and Wednesday. Nope, no idea what his problem might be.
(* sigh *)
Genny goes in for heartworm treatment Thursday. Since it's an infusion she'll be a groggy doggy when she gets out. She came up fro, Mississippi with a negative test a month before traveling and tested positive a couple weeks later. Almost $2000 for the cure (one more reason I have to find a vet who doesn't rely on rich clients).

As my brother likes to say, 'both hands and a tube in your account'.
The best Vet I ever had retired a few years ago. He had some partners from time to time but still, he said there were usually only 42 hours in a week that he wasn't there. He's happy. The vets who bought the practice are mostly good but expen$ive. There are a bunch of people living in the hills of that town who are millionaires plus, and the vet charges accordingly. I'm an old retired guy on Social Security and I pay the same rates.

Hey, you didn't say I couldn't go down the licking myself path. Bassarisks do the same routine!
No, but seriously, being a taur makes it a bit more difficult, especially once you've been outed in rather...divinely intercepted ways. (My fursona's not a god, but if I had a nickel for every one I knew of that is or at least has a god form, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's concerning.)
