Last time, we discussed the daily experiences and insights of Shiba Inu owners, which sparked a lively discussion. This time, Japanese illustrator Ishihara Takeshi (@K5dbZRmjNe77i5r) continues the conversation with fellow Shiba enthusiasts about bathing their beloved pets. We all know that most dogs aren't fond of baths, and it seems like they're fighting for their lives when it comes to this task. Of course, each owner has their own unique methods to make sure their dogs get clean, making the process feel like a battle.
The Bathing Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Step 1: Preparation - Once the owner starts preparing the bathing tools, the clever Shiba knows something is up. It's crucial not to make eye contact at this point!
- Step 2: Escape - The best strategy is to flee! To avoid getting clothes wet, the owner starts removing their shirt, and this is the perfect moment for the dog to make a run for it!
- Step 3: Capture - Absolutely cannot let the dog escape! After years of being a pet owner, you should know all the escape routes by heart!
- Step 4: Bathing - The dog starts shivering as the bath begins...
- Step 5: Shaking Off Bubbles - At this point, the Shiba, covered in bubbles, uses all its might to shake them off, and unfortunately, the owner often bears the brunt!
- Step 6: Rinsing Off Bubbles - Although it seems calm during this step, just wait until after the bath...
- Step 7: Drying - For the Shiba, being blown dry feels like being at gunpoint!
- Step 8: Sun Drying - Right after the bath, the dog gets dirty again by lying outside in the sun...
This humorous account highlights the challenges and joys of bathing a Shiba Inu, showcasing the unique bond between these dogs and their owners.
