Our dog was overdue for a bath and we had a house full of people coming over the next day. This is two days ago. Now he does not like getting a bath. My wife and I usually struggle big time getting him into the tub....but she wasn't due home for about a half hour.....and I really wanted to get this over with. So I tried to get the dog in the tub by myself but he's just too big for me to lift him. I did try it and could feel it in my back so I gave up on that idea. I next tried to bribe him with Milkbones......but that didn't work. So I went to the refrigerator for some cooked ground beef. I held it in my hand over the tub but the dog just looked at me. About twenty minutes had passed by now so I got in the tub and sat down with my hand open showing him the ground beef. He still just looked over into the tub. I knew that if my wife came home just then that she would grab her iPhone quickly and take that picture.....of me sitting in the tub.....fully clothed.....my hand open with ground beef in it.....and the dog just sitting there looking at me. So now I'm wrestling with the dog.....trying to drag him over the edge of the tub. It's 90 degrees and I'm drenched in sweat. I finally got his front legs in with me....and then threw what was probably a good wrestling move on him as I quickly went for his back legs and grunted as I dragged them in the tub. So now there is the two of us sitting in the tub....and he's mostly on top of me. I still had the ground beef clenched in my hand. I heard my wife coming up the stairs....that picture would have been worse.....so I got out of the tub fast.....not that easy for a 69 year old guy.....and turned the water on as if nothing were out of the ordinary on dog bath day.
