Siaga used to be petrified of the water hose. One look at it turned his way would send him running.
With this heat wave, though, he now stands rather nicely with only minor dancing around at it. He's still skittish about the water hitting the top of his loins along his back and that soft spot behind the last rib where the belly meets up to the hip. He tenses up and bunches up his back and walks around in circles. And I just wait till he stops and then take the hose away. He's getting better. :)
I love the way he looks when he's sopping wet. No longer a gleaming red gold color and suddenly a beautiful mahogany. :)
The cold water makes their muscles clench up tight.. nothing you can do about that, but he should still keep his feet in one place.
