Shaggy Minime gets a bath!

Well, I thought it would be a grand idea to give little Minime a BATH! SHE DID NOT!!! Linda R & I had quite the time of it!!!!! It was 104+ degrees on Saturday, so we found some shade & proceeded to get her wet! She thought we were certainly gonna kill her with that WATER!!!
Unfortunately the hitching post was a little TALL for her, & didn't do much for us either!!!!! She was under over there, & under over here! We had a heck of a time with her!!!! LOL!
Look at those ears!!!! NOT a happy camper!!!!!
Having a 'tizzy fit' I'd say, Look at the look in her eyes!!! She is saying "Someones gonna PAY for this!" I'll tell you, who the lucky duck was in a minute!
So, Linda R. gets her wet enough to apply shampoo, which I was doing...........then the phone rings & Linda has to take the call, & I'm still washing her.....WHEN.............she does the 'airs above ground' Lipizzaner move, & double barrels me in my left KNEE!!!!!!! What a brat!!!! Clever little thing cuz, if she hadn't done that 'stellar' move she wouldn't have been able to kick me!!!
So Bonnie comes to MY rescue & puts a butt rope on her & controls her so I can finish up the shampooing & rinsing of the Little Darling!!!!!! I put conditioner on her mane, forelock, & tail, & brushed her out so she was just stunning! Mike comes over to take a picture of her as she was so cute & pretty..................UNTIL...................
she throws a TOTAL FIT.....& ends up throwing herself on the ground!!!! & now our pretty groomed up girl looks like this!!!!! OY VEY as they say!!!! She kinda settled down a bit after her 'trick'..............& we felt a little sorry for her..........................so.............

we picked most of the weeds off her & Kathy started to scratch her withers, & if you look at her eyes now.............she's going........ oh ya! That feels good!
She had her mouth going, like a dog that flea bites you cuz your scratches feel so good!!!!!!
Well, the good news is my knee is fine, just a small bruise! The BAD news is...........look out little Minime there is a another bath in your very near future!!!!!! Will keep you posted on those developments!
Bye for now,
Linda C.
PS. will post the before & after pics Mike took too!
