Monday Mischief

April 2, 2012 By Jodi

Miss Delilah hates having a bath.   When it’s bath time you have to coax her into the tub.  You can’t force her.  Hubby tried lifting her four years ago and ended up out of work for a week, barely able to move.

Since that time, I’ll occasionally throw treats in the tub and let her climb in and out.  I’ve also let her start ‘cleaning’ the tub after I’ve defrosted and repackaged chicken necks for their raw food.

For Christmas my youngest daughter sent me some homemade hand scrub, it is made with olive oil and sugar.  I like to use in on my feet when I’m treating myself to my weekly ‘spa treatment.’

A few weeks ago I caught Delilah in the tub and I had to laugh, she was licking up the oil/sugar mixture.  This isn’t surprising in itself if it wasn’t for the fact that the tub in question is almost as tall as Delilah.

Last week I finally got her on video climbing into the tub.  After I showed it to Hubby he said if we are going to let her do that, we might want to consider stairs so she doesn’t scratch the outside of the tub.

After watching her climb in, I decided it is not something I will continue to allow her to do.  There is oil residue in there and she could very easily hurt herself.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy watching her figuring out how to climb into the tub.
