Hazel and I went for a walk in the woods yesterday. It was her first time anywhere properly woodsy and she loved it and, of course, got very muddy. We still don't have puppy shampoo (what is wrong with us?) but according to the internets a nice mix of hand soap and vinegar will get her squeaky clean and lovely. We learned this after I had drawn her bath but before she got in. So I went to the kitchen to get some vinegar and also picked up some treats to feed her while in the bath. She got very excited about said treats, jumped up for them, and got a splash of vinegar. At this point it becomes very fortunate that the bath was already drawn and she was quickly and rather unceremoniously thrown in and had water poured into her eyes, which she did not like, but I would imagine it was better than any vinegar that may have made its way in. Needless to say, I felt absolutely horrible but she seemed fine.

Also, holy stinking cow look at the state of that water! She was one grubby puppy.

Lastly, I started reading alienspouse.com yesterday which is awesome--you should all read it as well--and it is mentioned in an archived post that flickr has a picnik editing bit which I had never noticed. This picture has not been edited but I did play around with it for a while--I turned Dave orange and the bath water green. You folks can get the original though.
