Someone Drew a Bubble Bath and Stepped Away for One Minute
Someone drew a lovely, foamy bubble bath, stepped away for just a minute, and came back to find it already occupied. A black and white Havanese sits in the tub up to his chest in suds, his long wavy coat soaked and clinging, a few bubbles perched on his head like a tiny crown. He gazes calmly toward the window with a serene, faraway look, acting as though this were his spa appointment all along. White subway tiles, a soap dispenser, folded towels in a wicker basket, and soft evening light make the bathroom feel like a quiet retreat.
Havanese are cheerful, social toy dogs from Cuba, known for their silky coats and their love of being wherever the family is, including, apparently, the bathtub. If your dog does need a bath, it is best to use a shampoo made for dogs. Human products, including bubble bath, are formulated for human skin and can dry out or irritate a dog's coat and skin. Lukewarm water, a nonslip mat in the tub, and a thorough rinse help prevent itchy leftover residue. Longhaired breeds like the Havanese benefit from brushing out tangles before the bath, since water can tighten mats. Your vet or groomer can suggest how often your dog should be bathed.
For now, this bubbly little gentleman seems to be enjoying every second. Whoever planned to relax in that tub may have to settle for a shower tonight.
