Yesterday, I had what I call a squeaky clean walk with my mom. It was time for my spa day. On the way home, we stopped to walk around the little lake since the weather was so nice. Mom snapped a few photos of me with my clean furs like this one of me on the fishing dock.
Here is a before shot of me with my dirty, furs in need of help. I spent three and a half hours getting washed and stripped. It isn’t something I like but I do feel good after I’m all spiffed up.
I found this lady bug hanging out on the beach. It is kind of an odd thing, but maybe kids like to play on it?
Maybe you would like a nice side shot of my shiny clean and stripped furs. You may need sun glasses as my white furs are so bright.
We are expecting a weekend of rain, and cooler weather. Most likely my shiny white furs won’t look squeaky clean for long. Oh well, I am wash and wear and no one can stay clean forever!
We’re joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.

You look beautifully clean, Bailie, and life is too short to stay clean. You gotta have fun!
Nelson is proof of that. That guy is always outside getting dirty. I try to stay clean, but with rainy weather coming in, I will get messy.
Lookin really good Bailie!!! I don’t much like baths either but mom likes when I am spiffed up!! Have a great Friday. your friend Chester
Moms seem to love clean, groomed dogs, but she loves me as a dirty, shaggy mess too. A few times a year at the spa is alright, but it doesn’t make me very happy until I’m leaving.
Bailie OMDs look at your silky white furs blowing in the breeze.

They get super soft and bright white.
What a clean puppy
Squeaky clean, and now it is raining all day, so good by to my look.
Looking good! Three and a half hours well spent!
It is kind of torture for me, but I manage to survive a few times a year.
Wow Bailie…you look, not only squeaky clean, but bright and floofy! Such a beautimous girl! We do love seeing all your MN lakes! Mama and Daddy just made their house reservations for their 2025 trip to your beautiful state!

How exciting. It sounds like you guys won’t be coming along which is a bummer. We have a lot of things in this state, but water is everywhere!
That’s a wagnificent transformation! You look so beautifully floofy.
Shiny white and very soft.
Bailie, you look wonderful all cleaned up. And now you can have a fun time getting dirty!
I don’t really get dirty. We can all go out in the yard together and we three girls come in clean, Nelson is covered in mud. Mom says he is a real boy.
Wonderful and adorable photos of you Bailie ~ such fun you and Mom had ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

There is nothing better than mom and me time is how I feel.
It’s like a manicure or pedicure, it doesn’t last but it’s nice while it does. You are beautiful!
Very good comparison!
Thanks for gracing us with all these beautiful photos. What a good boy you are!!
Groomer visits are not something I like, but it feels good once she is all finished.
Your furs look absoulutely beautiful sweet Bailie!
Thank you.
Hi Bailie,
Gail is very impressed by your squeaky clean look. But I, Nobby, am not so sure. I am worried you might be giving Gail ‘ideas’…
Toodle-oo!

I’m not a fan of getting my furs done, but it does feel good once the dreadful process is finished.
Oh Bailie, you look beautiful in your clean and stripped furs!! Too bad they don’t repel dirt when you play, huh? Now go have fun!
I don’t get very dirty. Nelson handles that job for all of us girls.
How lovely you look, Ms Baillie! Quite a change, and I bet you feel better as well!
The process is not fun, but I do feel good when I am all done.
