We've been waiting the required 7 days since Leo's neutering to give that boy a bath because he's been stinking like dog. 

We learned over the last day or so that once Leo gave up his days on the street to become an apartment dog, he gave up dealing with the elements. He loves a nice long walk in the sun, cloud or wind, but add rain and he will park his bottom on the inside of the building entrance. So we've had to walk him with the umbrella over him to protect his delicate self from the rain. 

So I wasn't sure how he'd do with the bath. There's a Petco Unleashed store a couple blocks away and they have self-serve bathing stations.  I figured it was better to have him go nuts in their store than in my bathroom so off we went.

Leo was skittish but ended up doing well once he settled down. 

And then we had a clean boy for about 10 minutes until we got to the park.
