Her two worst nightmares!

Poor Tess.....

My eldest son Ben usually gives her a bath on Sunday, weather permitting, but he was out for most of the day so Tess thought she was off he hook! She really doesn't enjoy being bathed. She says the only good bit is getting rubbed with the towel afterwards.

So today, when youngest son Adam told her it was bath time, she glanced at him in the most nonchalant way, as if to say, "Yeah, good joke Adam, you never bath me!"

But when Adam picked up the chain (yes, we have to tie her up to bath her, she tries to escape!) she started to look really worried.

She thought the day couldn't get any worse, when what did I do? Rushed inside, grabbed the camera, went back outside to her and started taking photos.....

Tess's two worst nightmares, being bathed and having a camera shoved in her face!

Miss Tibbs tried to make her feel better by rubbing up to her legs and meowing whenever the water wasn't flying too far afield, but even that didn't console Tess. She was really ready for that rub-down with the towel when it was all over!

What a difference a day makes, after the dreadful rainy day of yesterday, all we saw today was sunshine, with not a single drop of rain.

I've added a second photo today in my blipfolio of a weird, white, hairy looking crawling bug. If anyone can identify this craepy crawly, I'd be very interested to know what it is! :))
