The hated part of his bath is the drying part.
The title of the post was taken from a song by the Beatles and little Troy was drying like a dog. The original song lyrics goes, It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like a dog.
So Troy hates the drying part as he cannot go and roll in the sand after his bath. Instead he is dried with clean towels.
Come and look.
According to his age, Troy is also a #silver-barker.
Oh yes, it's always a fight as he knows that we know that he wants to run out the gate to go and roll in the dirt. Countless games like this have been going on for the past 17 years and he is not really angry, as the teeth are only for show.
Nevertheless it is always a process and a game that Marian enjoys.
Peace be on earth as his charade is over and it's time to go and rest inside.
Resting in the comfort of his soft blanky he was soon gone into dreamland.
Yep, he is an old man now in his 17th year, but he has a long memory and he will never allow me to bath him. In his mind me and water don't make a good picture, as when he was a pup he came running to me. But the thing is that I was in my canoe on the river and in his haste to get to me he fell into the river. I dived out of the canoe to get him and luckily I got hold of him under the water. So to this day he remembers that and nothing that I can do will change his mind.
I would love for him to shower with me, but no go, as soon as I get into the shower he runs into his house. If his house had a door, he would slam it behind him :)
He is a very peculiar little guy and every night he comes into our bedroom for his good night pat and a song. I dare not sing the same song as then he starts to bark. So I change the tune every night.
Just to think as a tiny pup he used to sleep in my shoe at night.
I will see if I can find some pictures of him as a pup for a post.
Such is the life of our little Troy.
And That's All Friends.

little troy is sooo cute. I never had a chance to bathe our dog, it was always my brothers who bathe our little bestfriend in the house.
Oh yes, Troy will not allow me to bath him, so my wife has all of the fun.

My lovely Yorkie is 15 years old!!!

Troy is of the bigger Chihuahua breed and I am sure that your beloved Yorkie is his cousin.
Congrats on his/her age and I am sure that the Yorkie is also lovingly pampered.
Some !BEER to go with your !PIZZA
You know, she is very weak!
It breaks my heart.
I am so glad the PIZZA bot finally got you.
I was starting to embarrass me, hehehe 🤣

Shame yes, that is the problem when they age and I still remember ours as a pup.
His sight and hearing is now going and he has to take a heart pill and a pill that clears the water off his chest every day. Then I have to also put some special drops in his left eye every day.
Nope, you have certainly not embarrassed yourself, as I know what it is and I only admire your tenacity to get the !PIZZA thing done.
So !LUV also to you.

Little Troy - so cute and yet looking so mean, a little monster dog, looking at the pictures I can even hear him growling. But I believe he would never ever bite Marian ... maybe he would bite you, but never his Lady 😁
!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Little Troy was born with a Rottweiler mind my friend. He regards Marian as his elder sister in his pack and he sees me as the leader of the pack. At least this is according to the Vet.
Nope, he has never bitten Marian and he only bites my shoe when I by accident step on him as he lays and sleep here under my chair. He is closer to me than my shadow 😁
Cheers and thanks.
The dog is a man's best friend, and little Rottweiler Troy certainly is your best friend 😊
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote
I am not kidding Hannes, he lays right here under me every time that I come into the study to work.
So yes, we are best friends, unless I bump him with my shoe by accident. He gets such a fright that he wants to bite my foot off.
But then some sorries and petting gets him calm again 😉
Cheers and thanks.
Good morning Zac 😊
That's so cute 😍 and I can completely understand Troy - your shoe must have the size of a boat for him. Anyone would be scared if someone would hit him with a boat 🤣 !LOLZ

Still good afternoon here Hannes,
He was so small and so cute as he even fitted into my coffee mug.
Thankfully I wear decent size shoes, but yes, he must have thought that my shoe was a boat.
I never saw it this way and the little guy must have been terrified 🤣 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.

Troy is surely a #silverblogger and even at his age he's got his teeth, scary.
It's a good thing Marion wasn't in the canoe with you, or no one would be able to bath Troy.
He is a pampered brat when he gets the time my friend.
Hahaha, I got the fright of my life what this little guy disappeared under the water. A good thing that I have never taken Marian in the canoe. She likes mother earth too much.

Oh yes, he has always been like that and everything has to be his way or nothing.
He is also clever enough to allow me to do his eye drops as he knows that my hand is steady.
But he still will not let me bath him, even though he sleeps at my feet 🤣
He is a spoilt brat but we love him.
