Cute Dixie Wakes Up, Stretches, Goes Out, Rolls In Stench, Takes A Bath, Then It's Naptime.

This is Dixie's routine when she wakes up every morning. Only after she does all this is she ready to get out of bed. Upon awakening and going through her stretching, and yawning, and rubbing her eyes, she's ready to go outside to "do her business." And why do I envision Dixie going to the front yard, setting up a desk, hanging up her shingle, and opening up a briefcase every time I hear about a dog doing his or her "business?" When she came back in, she had her hang-dog look. I know this look. It is the look of GUILT. She had rolled in something. And it's the same vile odor she rolls in every single time and the same stench that Rosie, my sainted Lab, used to roll in. I believe it is nutria excrement. Dixie loves her bath.

Dixie surprised me in the above video. Usually, she circles around for about 20 times. This time she was down on her pillow in record time.

Sweet pampered Dixie. By the way, the towels have been heated in the dryer. She likes them warmed up.

Dixie Gets Another Bath.

I I let Dixie out yesterday morning so she could do her thang. She came back in about 15 minutes later, REEKING. She'd rolled in the same gawdawful stuff she gets into occasionally - the same smell that my Dear Rosie (black lab) used to roll in. I believe it is nutria excrement. She knows she's done it. And when she comes in, she acts guilty and all hang-doggy.
