Today, was Melanie's first bath and nail trimming since October. We went to Petco and they said to come back in 2 hours. It seemed like a long to me for one little dog, but I saw more people bringing in dogs so I assume they had some sort of assembly line. We stocked up on bags of her special food, bought a new brush, ear wipes, and body wipes (so when we come back from a walk I can wipe her fur down and she'll smell as sweet as a flower; although, I prefer her Melanie odor). My husband loves her and teases her by telling her she smells like a dog (well, of course, she does, but a sweet dog).
Well, after 2 hours, we came back and boy was she happy to see us. She had a certain worried look on her face as we were driving home and then I remembered I had taken her out early before her appointment and when we got back I gave her the usual bowl of water. Well, we had to leave pretty soon after that and poor Melanie must have been holding it in all that time. She could hardly wait to get to her outside bathroom at home. It must have taken her 30 seconds to go. Poor thing, she almost ha her legs crossed trying to keep it in before we got home.
When we got back in the house, she was a happy maniac. She ran all over, threw her bone around, and just seemed happy to be home. And that made me happy to think that she really thinks of us as her family now and The Butterfly House is her home.
