Bath Time.... Where's Oliver?!

This is where you can find our funny little dog when Gabe calls out "Bath time"! Oliver seriously dreads his baths. He cowers and sulks at the sight of the water hose and tub getting pulled out and ready for his bath. Amazingly enough though, once he is in the tub to be washed he stays put. Other than a lot of unnecessary and pitiful shivering, Oliver doesn't move a muscle. It is quite comical to watch!


He is great dog! Those that visit us may think otherwise because he still goes absolutely nuts when new people arrive. Still working to break him of that bad habit. But other than that and the occasional chewed up backyard toy or half-eaten AC insulation.... Oliver has settled into our family quite nicely.

Isaac adores Oliver and vice versa. They often can be found rolling around on the floor together, wrestling. Julia basically tolerates him and gives him some affection ever so often. However, I did find her saddled up on his back last week trying to ride him like a pony. So I guess I could say that Oliver tolerates Julia as well. He just sits there and lets the kids be kids with him. Glad he is used to all the ear pulling and childish shanagins! That way he won't be thrown off a bit when a new little one crawls over to him and does the same.
