Over the last two days, we have had over two inches (50 mm) of steady, cold rain. Yesterday, we showed you pictures of a wet Herd outside, but, of course, the dogs spent most of the weekend inside. In front of the fireplace.
Unfortunately, every venture outside meant that a new set of towels were needed get dry enough to come back inside. Let’s look at the faces of joy when being faced with the towel procedures.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

His books pay for our food!
I am sorry I am just seeing this now, but Q. was a slender fellow early on, wasn’t he ?
Great memories.
Sweet soggy Qannik. I love that face ❤️
I was wondering how long it took to get through the soggy doggy assembly line.
they have the “get me outta here” look!!
Wow-SIX dogs to dry back then Hu-Dad!! I only have 2 and it seems no matter what towels I use they NEVER seem to get DRY!!!!
I do know that you do have ONE dog who shall remain nameless who ABSOLUTELY hates the towel!!!
I can see you did not like the “towel treatment”!
Take carre
Kisses and hugs

I’m impressed. I hate to get wet…. reminds me too much of a bath!
Given the wet towels here with only two dogs, I cannot imagine drying off six of them at a time. Sun’s out today, thank goodness.
Lots of wet dogs and wet towels here too – but our towels look a lot dirtier than yours – where is the mud?
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
I’m sorry your weekend fun was spoiled by rain and towels! I think we stole all the sunshine! BOL
Poor you and poor pups! I can’t imagine the towels you are whizzing through! Hope you get some sunshine today!!!
It seems that you forgot that the Queen should always be first! Hehe.
Nobody here is a fan of being wet, that’s for sure! A certain black dog worries that it will adversely affect his shiny black coat…
I must be blessed with the only quick dry Sibe! When he does his business in the soaking rain I’ll get him to shake a few times in the garage and he is pretty dry.
Ayla’s MOM sez: Thank goodness we’ve only got TWO “soggy Sibes” to “blot dry” when they get soaked. Seven, I’m not sure I’d have the energy!
The Herd definitely needs SHAM WOW-type towels aka pet towels. Absorbs more, dries lots faster than cotton towels in the dryer. Get a bunch. (Microfiber is good too if you like plush.)
They sell those micro towels at Dollar general too, in the auto section where the oil and auto air fresheners are (of which you might want to pick up one or two, lol)
We LOVE getting ‘the towel.’ Ahhhhhhhhh….

You might try the special microfiber towels that are supposed to absorb better than normal towels. I have one, and I think it does work better. They’re available at pet supply stores.
