Giving Marley, our playful mini Cockapoo, a bath is always an event! As soon as she hears the water running, she tilts her head with curiosity and a hint of suspicion. Once she’s in, the splashing begins—Marley treats bathwater like her personal playground.
Her soft, curly coat requires extra care, so I use gentle, dog-friendly shampoo to keep her fur clean and tangle-free. She’s surprisingly patient during the rinse, though her wide-eyed expressions always make me laugh.
The real fun starts after the bath. Wrapped in a fluffy towel, Marley wiggles with excitement, ready for her zoomies around the house. After a few minutes of tearing around the house, we heat up a rice pad and for the next hour she snuggles down under the blankets.
Baths might not be her favorite, but Marley always makes the most of the warmth and snuggles to follow. Does your pup love or loathe bathtime?
