… so by adjusting the knobs, you can actually vary the temperature? Goodness, what a convenience that must be for people who can’t drink very cold water, you know, sensitive teeth and all that. I must confess, I’ve never seen a water dish this large and sophisticated before, and I really must thank you for such a very thorough demonstration and why are you locking the door and looking at me like that?
I Have a Bad Feeling About This
March 1, 2011 By
I can guarantee that towel on the floor is only one of many that will get used for this event…
This is one of those times when the bath giver gets wetter than the bath getter.
I love the impending doom tag! I think we need a bafftime tag one of these days.
Remember this one? http://cuteoverload.com/2010/08/26/tales-from-the-drypt/
Oh, and a point for the nerd reference.
That was a NTMTOM tour-de-force.
Thank you for the link. As I am somewhat new to CO, I did not see that post. Thank you for the great giggle.
I must have missed that one the first time around – thank you for posting it again!
These are both worthy of the NOMTOM coffee table book that we’re all *patiently* waiting for!
and, cute puppers!
patiently waiting, my foot! I am quite impatient over here for my NTMTOM-narration-and-Oakley-commentary book. I’ll even pre-order, y’all. fer serious.
Poor puppy! I promise, as soon as you get a whiff of the banana-mint-green tea-pomegranate-mocha-ylang ylang-jasmine-Old Spice bath gel, you will relax.
the puppy your puppy could smell like?
ROTFLMAO @ Theresa and tracylee!!
Look down, now look at me….
*ahem* “Old Spice, you say???”
*tapping foot to relay Disapproval*
Oh dang! What did I say? Was it the ylang-ylang?
dang x2! I commented on yours and got moderateded also!
At least he has a cheerful colored towel to look forward to.
I have that same beach towel (yes, beach towel) and use it for the same purpose: soaking up all the water that’s going to be launched over the side during the monumental struggle between Cleanliness and “Retaining My Hard-Earned Goggie Shmell”.
*Runs off to get rain gear “borrowed” from the Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist….*
You’re not drawing that bath for me, are you?
Oh, NTMTOM, your story is perfect and gave me the giggles!
Is the “Impending Doom” tag for the bather or the the bathee? (maybe it’s for the state of the bathroom after the bath…)
To answer your question: Yes.
PS: BEEP!
Seriously….ya’ll need to come out with a book – “The Best of NTMTOM” …would hit the NYT best seller lists in no time!
I keep checking Amazon to see if I can pre-order, but no luck so far.
I’m surprised and disappointed that none of you peeps has mentioned a NOMTOM doll yet! C’mon!
Life size!? Anyone? Anyone?
with one of those pull strings ala Chatty Cathy (yeah, I’m showing my age) so it spouts one of 6 random NTMTOM stories? Plastic replicas of corresponding posts sold separately of course
I’ll preorder mine now please! (Then I won’t have to rely on my imagination!)
The joy of a Greyhound – they hardly ever need a bath. Mud seems to just drop off, they never really smell and are not that keen on being wet. Ours does like to rub her head in fox poop occasionally though – not a good cologne!!
A gal’s gotta let loose & party SOMEtimes, y’know!!!!
agreed! Miss Big-ears doesn’t get that Eau d’Canine all that often, and I can just hose ‘er off outside if she decides (as she is wont to do) to lay in a mud puddle.
Schnauzer schnoggle!!!!
There must be 50 ways to ‘scape your bather.
Awesome!
Just slip pass the bath mat, Matt
Sneak through the knees, Louise
Run for the door, Lorre
If you wanna still stink..
skip the shampoo, Lou
gotta hide the soap, dope
bring your rubber duckie, Lucky
just pull the plug, Doug!
Excellence!!!
“…And get yourself free.” (Love S&G)
thumbs up to you!
I trust the rest of the towels are out of splash range…..
That’s a nice clean bathtub. Probably looks like Maru’s.
Brilliant, NTMTOM. As usual.
Does anyone else have to actually put their swimsuit on and get IN the tub with their doggie? Or is it just me?
On second thought… I prolly shoulda kept that one to myself! LOL
I used to make my KIDS put on THEIR swimsuits to bathe the dog.
Ummm, yes…. minus the swimsuit though.
You’re not alone, Sar. I have to in order to wash Sam. He squirms and tries to get away like a greased piggy.
hehehe…”greased piggy”
Mommy, Where’s my rubber ducky ?
At least the doggy is IN the bathroom. Ours when I was a kid would hide under the couch and I swear she would hold on to the bottom of it. We had to turn the couch over in order to get her out!
LOL! Picturing velcro doggy…..
“It’s bad enough that you’re forcing me to endure this indignity, now you’re gonna DOCUMENT it? This better not go up on Dogster.”
Funny I should see this after my Bostie gets a bath…because the Jack Russell thought it was perfectly fine to pee on her. Poor Kayla, the stuff she puts up with.
Oh no! The dreaded BAFF!
“Help me Obi-Wan, you’re my only hope!”
Hehehe!
But I only rolled in a cow pat.
yeah, it’s not like it was anything really nasty!!
Look at that sweetie schnauzer face!!!!!
As a fellow mini schnauzer owner I think I am interpreting this photo correctly. Mine does the same thing. He is obsessed with drinking what we call ‘fun water’, i.e. any water not in his dish–so a spill on the floor, and definitely in the tub. He stalks us when we take showers, has tried to jump in the tub with me when I take a bath, and has grown to tolerate his own baths because he gets to drink from the fun water tap.
Lewis the cat does that, too. He’ll wait at the bathroom door, and when I exit, just for fun I’ll leave the shower door open so he can go in and expectantly wait for the exciting drips coming out of the faucet!
I heart schnauzers.
NTMTOM…I love your comments, hover texts, dialogue…you so crack me up.
I so needed this today!!!
Wait, your dog is actually watching the water????
My dogs turn tail when you just say the word bath and head towards the bathroom.
Good luck little guy!
One green eye, one blue eye…It’s Delirium!
This one looks like a Havanese.
