We’re joining The Cat on My Head for their Sunday Selfie blog hop.
I never get to steal use Lexi’s blog any more since I moved out of the house with my Dad Andrew. I got to thinking about it and asked my friend Lucy (who I knew would say yes, as opposed to Xena who would have woofed not just no, but heck no!)
My Dad brought me over to Lucy’s house to get a good flea bath. The funny part was that he was almost done with my bath before anyone realized we were even here. I don’t really like baths (who does?) but I know they get rid of fleas and make me feel better and less itchy, so I consent to them. I’m 70 pounds of (mostly) muscle, so consent is pretty high up on the list when trying to get me to do stuff. Now if Lucy’s Mom had given me the bath, she would have put me in the big tub where I slip around and can’t fight very much when she cuts my nails. Dad didn’t bother with that this time, and he got a gentle reprimand from Lucy’s (and his) Mom when she saw how long they are. Hey lady, if you don’t like it, just don’t look at them, right? There was even something about “for my own good” thrown in there. She’s a groomer, so she thinks she knows this stuff.

Dad stayed and ate supper with his Mom, then he left to take me home to feed me since there’s no kibble or canned dog food in the house. I love my Dad and he loves me. I’m his heart dog. It’s good to be someone’s heart dog.
XOX Riley (thanks, Lucy)
Thanks! Riley

A clean doggie is definitely a happy doggie, well, in my books at least. We are so glad all went well with your grooming, Riley, and can tell the end result places you head and paws above the rest. 🙂

Handsome Riley…you looked wagnificent after your bath. Well done. And yeah, although I’m bad about the nail thing too, your Dad’s mum is right to remind they need to be done. 😇

The vet techs can’t cut Riley’s nails. Putting him in a slick bathtub is the only way I figured how to do it! And Lucy says you’re welcome. (Xena says grrr.)

You are sooooooooo handsome, whatever the size of the photo… Beau is 12 lbs bigger than you, so we know about the nail cutting thing. we just let the vet techs do it, they know the ins and outs of how to handle big beautiful dogs. thank you Xena and Lucy for allowing Riley to borrow your blog
