I am so happy to report today that Opie climbed in the bathtub all by himself!!!!!! I know that this might not seem like much of a praise report to you, but to me it is a BLESSING!! I have had to pick him up for the last 5 years because he is scared of water. Giving him a bath outside has never been an option either, he bucks like a wild bull and knocks you down. Usually the normal operating procedure is....put a leash on him, trick him and make him think your taking him to the front yard (which is a big no no) then quickly walk to the bathroom, once he sees the bathroom I then have to drag him IN the bathroom, once in the bathroom he completely lays out on the floor (hoping I don't have the energy to pick him up). After he lays out, then I have to pick him up to put him in the tub. Being he is so big, this is actually a long process. I have to start with the front of him and barely make it over the tub, once the front is in, then I hurry and pick up the back the end. It might sound quick and easy, but trust me its not. So I have to say THANK YOU JESUS GLORY TO GOD HALLELUJAH!! He was so good that after he climb in the tub he just stood there (which doesn't usually happen) He was so good that I was actually able to wash, rinse and REPEAT!!!!
Oh yeah almost forgot. Me and Mal made him a dog bed the other day, look at the picture, do you think we made it big enough??lol
