ripley gets a flea bath every weekend at the lake now. my dad thinks it helps keep her flea-free.. we have differing opinions, but ripley does seem to enjoy her weekly bath.
it's a long story, but we've been the foster home for one of jeff's friend's dog, jigsaw. she got a bath, too.
ripley is one of the most attention-loving creatures there is. she loves to be dried with the towel after a bath, or she'll rub up against one if it's hanging on the railing. she really likes if you sit on the floor cross-legged and she'll put her nose into your tummy and wait for you to flip her so she's laying on her back in your lap.
but her favorite is if you pat her butt. she'll come stand beside you when you're sitting in a chair and just keep barking until you pat her. and if you stop, she'll yip again.
anyway it's funny because we thought there was no dog that loved attention or being around people more than ripley, but jigsaw is right up there. she follows you around everywhere you go, waits for you outside the bathroom door, stands up whenever you stand up, and paws you when she wants you to pet her.
