Hygiene
Here I am at the end of my bath. Thank goodness. It is such an ordeal. Why I cannot simply stink and spread dirt all around the home I'll never understand. I think it does help me in making people friends. People don't like the smell of dirty dog. I find smelling fresh does help in my dog diplomacy. After this, I will awake as if from a long slumber and go on a running, rubbing and digging frenzy. Then I will settle down again. We dogs do this after a bath. Perhaps we feel fresh? I bet that's what people think. I won't tell. Mystery is healthy. Humans will never know. They are entertained by wondering what is going on in dog brains.
