Okay, folks -- the promised "wet Maggie" pics -- she really did pretty good -- other super news is that Maggie actually had the "zoomies" after I came home today! :thumbup:

 

[Murphys Dad]

Poor Maggie! She doesn't look happy but it looks like she's a good girl about bathtime though. Amber was like that. She hated baths but would patiently stand in the tub while I washed her. It's great to hear that Miss Maggie had the zoomies! Sounds like there's some spunk in the gal yet! Give her some extra belly rubs from me. :thumbup:

 

[Murphys Dad]

She's such a good girl. :angel: Then she gets the zoomies. :animal18:

Her turn is coming within the next couple of days. I've just been waiting for her incision to be completely healed.

Maggie sure looks like a sweet girl, patiently waiting for you to finish her bath. Nothing like a sqeaky clean Beagle! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

See, mom was more worried than she needed to be.

The zoomies! You go Miss Maggie!

Maggie......

you're full of surprises! Zoomies?! Keep those good surprises a-comin'......zoomies make your mama smile (and me too) :animal18:

You're such a good girl, Maggie!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Boeing never looks as cooperative when being given a bath :grr:

 

[Murphys Dad]

Maggie has the Zoomies? My, my, my... someone is feeling better! :thumbup:

 

[LuckyBeagle]

Aww, so happy to hear she had the zoomies! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Cute bath pictures.

 

[jcfehr]

Smooches to the wet girl !!! and you gotta love the zoomies !!!

 

[Murphys Dad]

I love the pictures of Maggie. I like looking at the pictures of the yo8ung puppies but I love pictures of mature beagles. Maggie you are so lovely. My Bagel is smitten as well. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Spencer's Mum]

Too cute, I love the 3rd picture where she's grinning.

 

[gvschmokes]

What are the Zoomies?

 

[brandyb]

Maggie, what good manners you have! Caesar hates the bath and tries so hard to jump out. One hands holds him in the tub, while the other tries to wash him. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif Very cute pictures.

 

[Murphys Dad]

Thanks for all the support, folks!
Spencer's Mum -- the "grin" makes more sense when you realize that I had liver treats in my hands in addition to the camera. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
Bob -- Maggie is quite flattered! You know, I don't recall ever seeing a picture of Bagel -- please post.
The Dean -- you will gets lots of replies re "what are the zoomies". I don't know if this is a beagle thing but none of my previous non-beagle dogs had them. Maggie's version is to start on my bed, run around on the bed two or three times, jump onto the ottoman and then make a mad dash into the living room, running around the sofa and inbetween the sofa and an end table and back up onto the bed. She will do this two or three times in a row and then collapse on the bed, breathing heavy. :biglaugh: She always does the same route. I don't have to chase her the whole route -- if I start chasing her, she will do the rest on her own. Maggie is now 12 and has had a rough year, physically, so to see her run is a great thing!

 

[BeagleBabe]

She is beautiful! :animal18:

What a good girl Maggie is, cant imagine getting either of ours into a bath. Snoopy has zoomies. If Dave picks him up for a cuddle and then puts him down, he zooms into the house jumps onto the couch and zooms back into the garden. Or if,the house door is shut, he zooms round the outisde of the house a few times. Susi just stands and stares in amazement.

Good girl Maggie!! Great pictures!! I am happy to hear she got the zoomies. I love that part the best :heart:

The zoomies are when a beetle gets a sudden burst of energy that can only be satisfied by "zooming" around the house or yard at full speed. They often stop for a brief breather, then zoooom around again!

Zoomies are very popular with beetles after baths as Miss Maggie illustrated.

Zooooom, zoooom, zoooom :animal18:

Hope that helps.

What wonderful news about Maggie having the zoomies--that is a very good sign! Her bathtime pictures are so cute--especially the second one cracked me up! :hi: I hope she continues to feel better and better!
