The Towel Game

Given that I am a boating and beaching dog I get wet a lot. I love to swim and it is a great way for dog such as myself to cool off in the summer heat. However, I often have quite a time trying to dry my coat. To do this I usually rub myself on the bed, couch, and carpet leaving a wet mess everywhere.

But my Humans are so smart they invented a game that I love to play. Since I am a special dog I get a towel that is just for me on the boat and at home. Since I won't hold still to be dried my Humans turned the process into a game for me. I call it The Towel Game.

The process is really quite easy. They throw the towel over me and start rubbing me dry and I try to get the towel off of me as I go. Sometimes they throw the towel over my head and I work to get it off. Essentially I do a lot of the drying work myself without even realizing it because I am having fun! My Humans are so clever.

I always celebrate my victory over the towel by taking the wet thing and shaking it with my mouth. I may be a little damp still after The Towel Game, but I am much less wet then I would be a tend to rub up against furniture and other things that for some reason my humans don't want to be wet.
