My Special Breeze

Ever knew a kid who tore the tags off of his clothes because they bothered him?  Who had a limited wardrobe because of the way clothes felt?  Perhaps you were that child?  Well, I have one of those children but in canine form.  Breeze LOVES and ADORES human touch and gets rather cuddly at times, but throw something semi-permanent on her fur and she's got a serious problem.  And unfortunately, she falls victim to this sensation every time she gets a bath:


All of the dogs I have ever owned enjoy rubbing on the carpet after a bath, but never one like Breeze.  This girl will throw herself to the ground and flop around like a dying fish for at least 10 minutes until she is somewhat dry.

Fortunately, this usually isn't much of a problem.  A while back I had tried some essential oils to help with some behavioral issues and this was her reaction to putting a drop on her fur.  I don't think it was the smell that got to her - I really think it was the feel of the oil on her fur.  

Anyways, Breeze may be a nut, but that's what makes her special :)
