Passage A: Bathing a Samoyed
Most pet owners take for granted the grooming of their dogs, casually hosing them
down or dragging them to the tub. Most dogs eventually learn to accept baths as
part of the normal cycle of dog living. Some dogs, however, not only dislike the
periodic bathing that their owners inflict, they also make the bathing ritual a torment. Samoyeds, for example, have thick, tight fur that resists water and soap; in addition, their massive heads and heavy bodies, averaging about eighty pounds, create problems. Along with these natural barriers to bathing, Samoyeds also pull away forcibly from owners who have "Now, it's time for a bath" looks in their eyes. In
spite of the difficulties, bathing a Samoyed is both possible and necessary-for the dog's skin and the owner's sense of smell. First, gather all the equipment. This
includes a full bottle of dog shampoo, a pitcher for wetting and rinsing, a dozen
towels, and an extra set of clothing for you and your helper (yes, you need a helper). With your partner's help, grab the dog and start dragging him to the bathroom. Once in, each of you needs to grab half a dog and attempt to lift him into the tub. This is no easy feat, because Samoyeds squirm constantly. Once the dog is in the bathtub, adjust the water temperature to warm but not hot (dogs can be picky). Fill your pitcher with water and begin wetting the dog while your partner holds him. Be
careful around his head, watching out for his eyes and ears. He'll let you know if you
get water in his eyes; be prepared for a soaking. Completely soak the dog's coat, and make sure you don't forget his belly just because it's underneath. Next, pour a handful of shampoo into your palm and start massaging it into the dog's hair. Scrub as hard as you like; he won't mind. In fact, he'll enjoy it very much. Wash his neck, back, tail, stomach, and legs completely. Now, fill your pitcher again and start rinsing
the dog around his neck. Be prepared to refill your pitcher at least a dozen times
because Samoyeds have thick hair. Continue until the dog is completely rinsed. You
can tell when you're done by running your hands through the fur afterwards. You'll
be able to feel the soap if there's any left. Next, remove the dog from the bathtub.
He will probably jump out gladly, splashing half the water in the tub all over you and the bathroom. Give your partner a towel and take one for yourself. Start at opposite
ends and dry the dog; it will easily take the dozen towels you put out earlier. After
about twenty minutes, stop and feel the hair. It should be dry. If you still think you
could give a Samoyed a bath, here's your chance. Mine needs one. Pick him up
anytime.
