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.
Come on, hu-dad, just because I like to sit in the rain and soak it up.
There are not enough towels made to get me totally dry.
The indignities that a princess needs to face.
The Queen forgot the one dog at a time rule and rushed towel security.
Are we done yet?

I can see you did not like the “towel treatment”!

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?

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.
