Dame Aussie Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm sure everyone's experienced it. We bathed the dogs yesterday and what followed could only be described as half an hour of mad zoomie loon time :laugh: Hilarious. Why do dogs go nuts after a bath?

Guest lavendergirl Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mine does the same thing. I think it is a release of tension - as if they think "thank goodness I have survived that ordeal - lets celebrate" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Zero prefers to sleep after his bath. He gets worn out from the torture. Veikko has only had the one bath but she rumbled with her brothers after it. They weren't allowed to zoomie after it - they had to be pretty for photos :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Because despite using warm water and drying off with a hair dryer they are convinced they are dripping wet and horribly cold and behave accordingly. :laugh: Why, (OH why ) must my horses roll themselves 'dry' after having been shampooed and dryed in the sun for an hour, clean cotton rugs on in the dustiest spot they can find? Same reason I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ferrets after a bath are hilarious too! You just give them a towel and they dry themselves. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeimMe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I always thought it was because they felt so fresh and invigorated :) I like the "I'm so happy that's over with theory" - I'd never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My two boofheads like to let the neighbourhood know they're clean and shiny!! They run around ballistic, torment each other, do the mad zoomies and strut letting the wind blow through their hair!! It's crazy, but I love it. Makes me feel like I've done something good for them. I just hate that in about an hour, Zeus manages to get grass stains on his legs again :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 bath? Mina keeps shaking out the water like OMG how hideous, the other two have never had a bath yet lol. Although as I'm mowing Rogue insists on rolling in the freshly mown grass like a malinois earthworm after me :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just give them a towel and they dry themselves. :laugh: My two dogs do this too :laugh: I put the towels down on the floor and they roll around on it and dry themselves and then do mad zoomies. Even if I'm holding the towel they rub themselves in it. Now if only they could wipe their own muddy paws before coming in the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lolapalooza* Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Its always funny when I wash baby puppies and whichever one is wet gets bashed up by the others for being different! :laugh: They tear around the garden, and then its the next ones turn!

Little Gifts Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I had an OES who we used to wash outside in a huge tin tub as a family affair. She was so excited about being bathed that she would sit in it while it slowly filled anticipating how much fun it was all going to be. One of us would stand in the tub with her and the other would stand outside and the soaping would commence on the wriggling fur monster. All three of us would be soaking wet and soaped up. Unfortunately by the time the rinse cycle came around she had had enough and we would have to engage a third human to keep her in the tub for the final bit. Once she was soap free the zooming would commence. If we were lucky we got a towel near her as she veered in our direction. Most of the time it was the wind that dried her off. Mum would then make the mistake of giving her a treat for being such a good dog. She'd go and bury it and come back with dirty paws and snout. We'd all wonder why we bothered. It was the same every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yep my two go mental.Picture greyhound zoomies X 100 I stand up on the safety of the deck and watch them otherwise they could take me out :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyB Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yep spent $25 getting Raspa washed on Saturday morning, come Saturday arvo was sitting on the grass giving her a really good rub and scratch, looked down at my hands and yep, brown from dirt. She obviously found some dirt somewhere. She doesn't really do zoomies after bath as that would require too much effort but just walks and walks and walks and if she can sneak in a roll will happily do so.

Staffyluv Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Zig just sits in the shower while I shower him but he likes the drying off part.. Then it is out the back for find dirt to roll in.. Funnily enough he loves his clam shell pool and mud puddles but the shower is pure torture - you can see it in his face (he is never sure he will survive it)... I think that is why he is so happy to be dried off - he survived the shower ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
