My day off

I woke up this morning with not much to do because I had planned to take today off, after my usual morning chores, I just sat there thinking about life in general, I mean i was there when everyone went out for their different hustle, today’s weather was very fair, fair would be an understatement, it was scolding hot.

It didn’t take much time before I concluded that I’d make good use of the hot sun, I decides to do some laundry, since the power was on, the kind of of power supply we have here in this estate sometimes feels like a steal, I mean the whole state would be complaining about not having power, ours would be constant like clockwork, I loaded the dirty laundry into the washing machine and I went ahead to do other things.

The next thing I did was give my dog a proper good treatment, I started with heating up some water, poured the heated water on buckets, then brought his bathing kit, it’s a soap can, inside the soap can contain sponge, soap, Dettol, toothbrush, hair brush and nail cutter, when I went to bring the dog he already knew wjat was about to go down, the resisted with so much power, at the end I was able to subdue him, forced him to bath.

After much struggle I was able to wash him thoroughly, when I started he resisted with everything he had, but as I progressed, he had no choice than to allow me do my thing, why do we have to fight all the time before he bathes? That has always puzzled me, the most disturbing part of the whole issue is when he does his we shake off, I used disturbing for lack of a better word, I mean I had showered earlier, why do you have to drench me too? At the end we concluded with washing away with warm water.

I moved him upstairs to a very neat environment because I didn’t want him rolling on sand, which is something he has always done every bath, I read somewhere that one of the reason they do that is to dry off wet fur, in the spirit of helping him dry off I had to bring out a fan to blow him dry.

The next thing I did was to sweep and clean his cage, I was surprised by how much hair this dog had shed in the last month, I had to check and I found out that it was very safe, and he’s just removing old and damaged hair, at the end I kept everywhere well tidied and neat and I returned the big boy back.
