In the second panel of this comic strip, Sophie tells her dad that she may or may not have chased him off.
In the last panel of the comic strip we pull back and see that Sophie is covered in plants, dirt and leaves. She tells her dad that for sure, he's going to have to re-plant the peppers.

I have a lot of garden related comic strips. Now Sophie was never destructive in the yard. However, our foster dogs destroyed my entire irrigation system. I tried keeping up with the repairs, but in the end I ditched the tubes and the timer and went back to using a hose.

The caption in the first panel of this comic strip reads, "another one", and we see a bald tennis ball.

This comic strip inspired a chapter in “Sophie”, book two. In chapter six, the latest group of foster dogs get adopted. Sophie got what she wanted: her house back to herself. However she wasn’t happy and didn’t understand why.
I saw this strip and thought it would be interesting, and hopefully funny if she went on a small self-exploration adventure. One of the squirrels tells her to climb Mount Mojojumbajamab and seek wisdom from the Yeti of Enlightenment. And of course it’s not going to end the way Sophie is hoping it well.

Get ready for a bubbly adventure as we dive into the world of dog bath time! In this fun-filled comic strip, we join Sophie, the lovable chocolate Labrador, as she hilariously expresses her disdain for getting a bath. But fear not, fellow dog parents! Here’s five tail-wagging tips to transform bath time into a joyful and bonding experience for you and your furry friend.


Pre-Bath Fun and Games:

Make bath time anticipation a positive experience! Engage your pup in pre-bath playtime, tossing their favorite toy or playing their beloved game. By creating excitement beforehand, you'll help shift their focus from the bath itself and make it more enjoyable.


Temperature Matters:

Ensure the water temperature is just right, not too hot or too cold. Test it with your hand or a thermometer to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Lukewarm water is generally the most comfortable for dogs. A cozy bath mat or towel placed in the tub can also provide extra comfort.


Pampering Products:

Choose dog-friendly shampoos and conditioners that suit your pup's needs. Opt for gentle and hypoallergenic formulas to avoid skin irritation. Remember to protect their eyes and ears by using cotton balls or specially designed products.


Treats and Positive Reinforcement:

Who doesn't love a tasty reward? Offer treats and heaps of praise throughout the bath time process. Reward your pup's cooperation and calm behavior with their favorite snacks, making them associate bath time with positive experiences and tasty delights.


Post-Bath Bliss:

Once the bath is complete, embrace the joyous aftermath! Have a soft, warm towel ready for cuddly snuggles and gentle rubdowns. Engage in play or offer a special post-bath treat as a celebration of their good behavior during bath time.


With these five tips, you're ready to turn bath time into a fun-filled adventure for your furry companion. Remember, patience and positive reinforcement are key to creating a positive bath experience. So, grab your rubber ducky, put on your bathing suit (or not), and let the splish-splashing and wagging tails commence! Together, you and your pup will conquer bath time fears and create wonderful memories that will make every bath a tail-wagging success!
