They do look hilarious trying to lift one paw at a time...video please!
 
So our two love all things wet and muddy. Love to swim and paddle and can't resist a puddle or pond or lake etc. With the scary stories of Alabama Rot (to date none in this area but scary regardless) I've decided to shampoo their paws after walks. Well you would think I was trying to get them to put their paws in scalding hot oil the way they are reacting. I've taken to holding them under their front legs and dragging them to the bowl to dunk them - still they try to resist. Hoping after a few more days they'll realise it is not painful!

My dog is the same and he hates being dried with a towel after he’s been in the rain and gives it his best “big dog” growl which is pretty pathetic
 
We wash Molly's paws after a walk due the the ice-melting chemicals spread all over the streets.
It's really bad for her to lick that stuff off herself, which is what would otherwise happen.

Generally get a face licking after washing her feet. Probably why Jesus doesn't visit often.
 
Old friend called and reminded me of the Valentines years ago when I sent an ex-girlfriend a bouquet of weeds delivered by Interflora. It had the desired reaction all round!
 
Spent the afternoon going through the spare room where I keep my golf stuff and blitzed all the junk out and tidied up. Two large carrier bags of premium and other types of ball going to the club for the junior box and for members to help themselves as I've no need for them and still have way too many as it is. Room looks much bigger for just putting stuff away properly
 
Thirty years or more ago, I used to pitch batting practice to my son.
I'd pitch two wire baskets worth of balls--they hold about fifty or sixty baseballs each--and then we'd gather the balls all up and grab a bite to eat somewhere.
It took up longer than you might think as a boy cannot swing a baseball bat a hundred times in succession without taking breaks.
Otherwise, the "tired swing" repetitions would do more harm than good. Plus dad needed breaks too.

Those wire buckets full of ancient baseballs are still in my library along with some of his old bats.
I'm looking at them right now, and I can't bring myself to give them up.
My son is now older than I was back then, and I don't feel like forgetting old times.
 
Oh, Mrs Slime is away, so it's time for a few cauliflower cheese and fish finger sandwiches whilst watching the golf.
What could possibly go wrong?

sad to say while i was at golf yesterday the wife couldn't help herself and stuck all 4 on him again... had a run around the house in them without mishap and didn't freak him out as much as before, mind you he had had the cone of shame on the last few days and is getting more chilled with that as well
