A Day at the Spa

So, let’s talk about this magical thing the moms keep calling a “Spa Day”. It was amazing. I wasn’t so sure at first because I heard the moms talking about a “B-A-T-H” (do they think I can’t spell? And you guys know how I feel about bathtime). Then they were on the phone and at first I thought they were talking about my brother “Yup, 11 months old, 60 (ish) pounds, German Shepherd / Great Dane mix” then I knew it was me “Dr. Watson G. Newton… or Watson for short” uh oh ….. They even asked what time they could “drop me off”. DROP ME OFF??????

Well, I still don’t know who they were talking to because the next thing I know we were at PetCo – Flagstaff (that’s where my kibble and extra treats come from). I love PetCo and everyone in there just loves me too – they give me cookies every time. Only, we didn’t go straight back to the kibble aisle this time (Yes, I know right where they keep my bag of kibble) instead we went in the little glass room. There was a very nice lady behind the counter who just wanted to talk to my moms about ME!!

After that, Kayla took me behind the door and ALL my friends were there. Christine gave me a bath

(although, I’m still not sure about this whole getting wet and sudsy thing) and Kayla gave me a nail trim

as you can see, giving a Tripawd a mani/pedi poses some challenges of its own. Then after I was dry, they put some smelly stuff on me – the Moms call it perfume – I like it “Ok” but my brother Tucker keeps sniffing me and saying I don’t “smell like me” I think he’s just jealous that he doesn’t get “Spa Day”. I even got a bow (I think the Mom’s were almost excited as I was about this). When Momma Donna came to pick me up she was so excited… all she could say was how handsome I looked and smelled!! After I said good bye to all my friends I made sure to tell EVERYONE in the store that I had a “Spa Day” and it was GREAT!!! Many people stopped to tell me how soft my fur was and how very handsome I was. I kept announcing it even when Mom took me out to the truck. I was so proud! Even now, I tell my friends at work (Alburn, Bosco and the others that once they find their forever homes they should SO sign up for “Spa Day” at PetCo (Flagstaff) I also tell the two-legged that they should treat their furry ones to “Spa Day” !!

Thanks to Kayla, Christine, Linda and my other friends at PetCo (Flagstaff) for changing my mind about bath time ……. This time I’m pressing the “like” button.
