Bathing Day

Morning moon

Dr. K, Willow and I purposefully chose to do half a hike this morning so we could take a long drive afterward in order to get back with plenty of time left before noon to give our little sand potato a much-needed bath.  Of all the dogs we've ever had she is the absolute best at being bathed.  The bathing was a success and now Willow will be clean for a day or two.
