Little did I know he had an early spring bath in mind for me.
Please note (on the picture above) the high tech, green showering device that is apparently deemed suitable for a dog of my standing.
You will also note that I am STANDING by the bins. Nice.
However, despite my long face (longer than usual maybe) I didn't really mind and my new pink dog shampoo did make me smell beautiful and made my fur super-soft.
When I was dried the MOTH also let me put on my new Union flag collar - in honour of Olympics year - which the LOTH bought me back from Day 1 of Crufts. It came from the lovely folks at Perry Barr Retired Greyhound Trust so I am glad the money went to their funds.

The LOTH is at Crufts all weekend, but it's only about 45 minutes drive from where we live so she comes home every night and I watch the coverage with her that the MOTH records between 6.30pm and 9pm.
If you want to read the stories she is covering (frankly, I wouldn't bother because I don't get a mention) you can go to the news and features section of her Lost and Fond website.
This blog hop is kindly hosted by Life With Dogs, Two Little Cavaliers and Confessions of the Plume.
If you'd like to join in and make new pet blogger friends, please follow your three hosts, add your blog to the Linky and copy and paste this week's new Linky code into the html editor of your own blog. The list will automatically update on everyone's blogs as new sites add themselves over this weekend and we can all hop from blog to blog and find out everybody's news.
Thanks again to our three hosts for putting on the hop!

Thanks for hosting the Saturday Blog Hop. Have a great, clean day.

Hi Max. I can't claim the credit for hosting the blog hop - I am just one of the bloggers who has jumped on board. But I am grateful to the three bloggers who DO host it. I've met so many great friends through it.
Here's hoping today is dry and quiet!!
hey Winnie!! Lovely to catch up with you after all this time, yes, those Baths are a pain aren't they but then the feeling after is probably worth it! Your Mom will want a lie in on Monday after 4 days at Crufts, great treat times though eh? Dex and Lou xxx
We love your new collar very stylish. Mum laughed out loud, that you were very unimpressed to be showering by the bins.
Happy Saturday. Dexter
Oh My! My guys haven't had a bath in years. Think it might be time?
OMD...a spring bath you poor girl! .
Winnie you look fabulous sporting your new union jack collar.
Have a great weekend

When they get bored baths are in the air

What in the World was the MOTH thinkin??? HOW RUDE of him to give you a BATH... with THAT Sprinkle THINGY to boot? UNSPEAKABLE HORROR. How could he do that to a lady of YOUR HIGH BREEDING AND STANDARDS??????????? I am SHOCKED.
BUTT your new collar DOES look STUNNING on your shiny sleek furs.
Now since YOU are not being featured I think I will take a pass on watching that stuffs. I can NOT believe that you have suffered yet ANOTHER blow like THAT. YES, I will boycott it fur sure.
Winnie...Our mom had to chuckle because our post tomorrow is about baths. Feeling your pain across the pond.
Freedom, Casper & Nikki
Sorry to hear about the indignity of a garden bath, but that new collar is stunning.

Hey Winnie, Jet here. Nice to meet you on the Hop today. You look fetching in the collar and the donation makes it even prettier.
Now about the conditions of your bath... May I recommend that the MOTH read a few of my posts for some pampering ideas?

Winnie, you are lucky to get a watering can. My baths mostly consist of being dunked in a cold Scottish mountain stream.
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
Winnie, You look even lovelier after your bath.
Love the collar.
Oh Winnie, you sure were tricked. And standing next to the bins, OMD! I'm glad it worked out for the better though. How fun that your LOTH is at Crufts. I'll have to check our her articles.
I love your sophisticated bathing system! I don't think I'll let Mom see it though--she'll get it in her head that it might be a good way to bathe me.
Ugh, surprise baths are the worst! Your collar is very beautiful, though. We can't wait to watch the Olympics!
I mentioned "bath" and Rama disappeared! You look very spic and span and I bet you smell good! Nice to meet you!
We have one of those green showering thingys. We are on our way to hide it!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Oh no, bathtime! Perhaps you should lodge a complaint, and the facilities will be up to your standard next time ;)
We agree, thanks for the Saturday Blog hop, we are trying to keep up! Have a great weekend!
I had a bath the other day too. But it was in the tub. MOM just can't seem to catch me if she wants to use the hose outside. hhehehe
Blessings,
Goose
A bath?! The HORROR! I hate baths! I do have to say that your new collar looks pretty spiffy, though! At least some good came of the whole affair!
Bunny
Oh my god... a watering can shower next to the BINS?! Oh the humanity!
We do like the collar though.
Hope the LOTH had a great weekend at crufts, 45 mins isn't too bad, still long enough though, it took Mum 4!
Have a great week

You look pawsome in your new collar - especially after getting all cleaned up. I love getting showers with the garden hose.
Lovely collar Winnie. Mum nearly had a dog from Perry Bar before she got me. Turned out not to be cat friendly though...hmmmm....moving swiftly on... I have a similar regime for my bathing. I've no idea why they don't have an extension with an on-suite built for me! Deccy x
Oh I hope your Mom is having a fantastic time! I can't wait to hear more about it. I love your collar!
Hey Winnie!
Wow, there's nothing good about a bath, except for getting dirty all over again! BOL. My peeps turn the garden hose on me in warm weather. Pththtttt. Your new collar is beautiful and I bet you smelled wonderful!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Oh dear Winnie I'm afraid to say our hounds have the same shower as you, well the tiny one fits in the shower but the rest are outside. Love the new collar.
Ooooo! I love your collar!!
