LOL

3. Tough Job

I get her point of view, but the truth is that the animal is being traumatized. I've had to do something similar with my cats over the years when they needed flea baths and other things. I feel bad because the problem is that they have no understanding of what is going on, but they feel extremely threatened by the whole experience. Of course, they get over it "quickly". Thank god for short memory spans. But at the end of the day, I'm not sure there is any other way to get these things done.

4. It is Interesting How Some Dogs Go From Hating Being Brushed...

...to loving it.

6. Yup

Animals freak out over the strangest things. My cat hated the house keeper for months. Then, it went to waiting at the door for her. I think it was anticipating playing with the broom she used.

9. huskies tend to be a bit talky anyway, don't they?

this one had a lot to say.

maybe if they had let this pup watch other dogs first it wouldn't have been as surprising.
"look! all the other dogs are having fun getting all soapy.... have a another treat"

15. They look as if they are smiling

10. Bath. Do not like.

What a sweet drama queen husky. I’ve been watching the groomer’s videos for a while. She’s great with all types of dogs.

11. Aww.

Bassets come a close second though.

12. Funny from a human perspective.

From the dog's perspective, it is frightening, so I feel bad for the poor guy who can't understand what is happening.

I'm surprised that, in spite of his fear, he did not try to bite in self defense.

Now that he knows what it's about, he will probably be less frightened the next time. Agree with an earlier post that letting him see other dogs go through it might have made it less scary to him. OTOH, it might have intensified his fear through anticipation.

Very beautiful dog.

14. Yes, he did seem terrified

He is very young, so hopefully he'll get used to it as he gets older.

I agree, the dog is gorgeous.

17. My cat is 5 years old and still hates being brushed.

I tried getting her used to it as a kitten, but she has always been a cat who hates being handled. I stopped using a wire cat brush out of concern that her skin might be too sensitive and tried a plastic comb. Her drama about being brushed or combed makes this husky seem mild.

I finally tried a toothbrush (bought for this, not my own, lol). She tolerated it better, but only on the top of her head and behind her ears, where she loves being scratched. When I used the toothbrush on her sides and tail, she squirmed loose, hissed at me, and slapped the toothbrush out of my hand.

She's even worse at the vet's.

18. Oh my god, now that's a drama queen

Our two dogs (actually my son and his wife's dogs) both hate water and the oldest one, an Australian cattle dog, is the drama queen. They are both elderly now and they never got used to water. Not crazy about snow either.

19. Animals have their likes and dislikes.

Some of them are quite assertive about expressing themselves.

My previous cat was just the opposite. He loved being brushed AND combed. As soon as he saw either the brush or comb in my hand, he rubbed up against them and hopped onto the cat stand where I usually brushed him. With the current cat, I have to hide the fact that I have the toothbrush in hand. But she picks up on body language easily and stays out of reach when I'm hiding it.

She is short-haired, but has an undercoat that needs brushing, so I keep trying to outwit her.

[PatSeg]

20. Yes, they are all so individual, much like humans

If they could talk, perhaps they could explain their various idiosyncrasies to us. I've always found cats to be somewhat less predictable and often unusual than dogs though. It is like they go to great effort to be quirky.

[wnylib]

21. The quirkiness of cats that I love most about them.

They have their own logic.
