I love swimming in the ocean.
Sunday mornings is Sugar’s Beach Day!
I swim about a mile. For being a Senior dog I think that’s Pawsome.
After swimming and rolling on the sand, I get rinsed on the beach.
There are several rinsing stations on the beach.
Rinsing after an ocean swim is a must as the salt and minerals are rough on the coat and pads.
When I get home … Bath Time.
I know many of you don’t like getting a bath.
Well, I do … especially my bath includes a gentle massage.
It’s relaxing and soothing.
Mom found a very good Hawaiian dog wash/shampoo.
I’ve tested all 3 scents. On this particular bath I am using the Citrus Wipeout.
Did you read the label?
Yes it is “Naturally Magnificent Wash.” and humans/people can use it too.
Rinsing is the best part of bath time … a good water spray is a must!
Lots of Golden ALOHA n Woofs

I am joining Monday Mischief Pet Blog Hop.
Yes, there’s nothing Mischief on my Bath Time …
just want to share especially for those of you who don’t like Bath Time.

June 25, 2012 at 2:39 AMYou look so relaxed! I just love the smell of a clean dog, hence the boys getting trucked to the day spa every 2 weeks. My favorite is when they come home smelling like coconut. 🙂

June 25, 2012 at 3:20 AMWow, you look like you were having a spa day. Swimming, rinsing then massage with scented shampoo. It’s the Royal treatment.
You deserve it, Sugar. Swimming ONE MILE? It’s crazy.
I’ll be back,

Sam says
June 25, 2012 at 7:00 AMDo you worry about the saltwater in her eyes? I remember years ago taking Cisco to Mexico and letting her swim in the ocean, we were told (not by the vet) to try to avoid it in her eyes. We weren’t sure if it was a valid concern or not.

June 25, 2012 at 8:06 AMSugar, you do everything with grace – even bath time 🙂 Unfortunately, the pups in this house only tolerate bath time…I guess that makes them lucky they don’t have an ocean to swim in…?
Jen says
June 25, 2012 at 8:31 AMYou look like you are loving your bath Sugar! I bet you smell awesome!
Casey the Boxer says
June 25, 2012 at 9:49 AMThat does look very relaxing. I’d probably enjoy my baths more if I got to run and swim at the beach first, though!
Bassetmomma says

June 25, 2012 at 11:37 AMHey Sugar!
Wow, I’m not a big bath fan, but if that’s what it takes to go swimmie it’s okay with me! Sure looks like you are enjoying all of your swims and baths too. I bet that citrus makes you smell so pretty and fresh! I wish I was there with you.

June 26, 2012 at 4:28 AMHey Sugar!
You have way too much fun out there in Hawaii! Can you tell me if your new shampoo is good for dogs with skin allergies. Stetson is sensitive skin and we usually use a vet prescribed shampoo for his baths.
Happy Monday!
Colby

Emma says
June 26, 2012 at 8:32 PMI luv to swim – used to swim in the North Sea in Germany, it was so much fun. There I had to have a bath every time too cuz I was so full of sand and stuff, did not like the bath but it was worth it to swim. You are super lucky!
2 brown dawgs says
June 27, 2012 at 6:20 PMThat looks like a mighty fine bath!
