Peyton Gets A Bath

Peyton is Jacobs and Nathans responsibility. I wanted to give her away about a year after she was given to us (6 years ago) because dogs are much more needy than cats and between tending to the kids, a husband, cooking and chores the last thing I want to do is to make sure the dog has everything it needs. Jacob didn't want me to give her away so the deal was that he would care for her ... well, it hasn't worked out that way. He never seems to remember to feed her so Nathan is now responsible about making sure she has food and water. Peyton also doesn't get her baths regularly and this is one of the reasons why she's also not allowed inside the house. A few months ago, when the day was nice and sunny Jacob gave her a much needed bath ... and although she hides in her house because she doesn't like cold baths you can tell that she appreciates it once she's nice and clean, dry and warm.

She has to be tied down so she wont run away.

You can tell she's cold ... but then again chihuahuas are always cold.

Getting shampooed ... lots of it.

She was very stinky.

One of the most beautiful felines I have ever seen in my life! ... my precious Libby.

She's a natural ... I don't even have to tell her to pose (lol).

Later on during the afternoon we had Jacob's parents over and guess who was able to come in? Peyton ... and boy did she like the attention.

Of course, Peyton loved to be petted by any and all willing hands.

She makes noise when she gets comfortable ... and she macks. The sound that comes out of her mouth is that of a banana being mashed, gross!

Riley likes to "pet" her but sometimes he gets super excited and ends up putting all his weight on her. So we have to always supervise the two of them. I wouldn't want her to snap at him and bite him.

By the look on Jacob's face I'm pretty sure a football game was on.

Peyton looking very comfortable where she is.

Make no mistake. She is cared for well and loved by most.

Although I'm not partial to dogs I do keep an eye out for her.
