There are a number of factors at work here….First… I wear the same coat all the time,Rain or shine …Second.. when I play with my friends ( Max, Alfie or friends Dejour) Slobber is present and can cause my coat to become moist….Three… I have been known to Roll in interesting substances..and Four… once you become acquainted with Flower ,your skin retains Her fragrance for many months , if ever so faintly….All of these factors have lead to my present situation…It has been determined… I need a Baffe, I have known that “This Baffe” has been coming for awhile..But staying Down wind , is not an option anymore..The only possible reprieve ,will be if They don’t want to get wet while washing me..( it’s Raining) and they Know I am a Shakin Dog. Also they always consider .The length of time required for me to dry., and the temperature out side. ( it’s warm)….In all fairness , Daddog uses Warm water to wash and rinse me, and I kind of like it when he covers my head with a towel…I need a distraction,……. I think my Luck just ran out .
