Me vs Water

Here is where I live and go walking with Nice Lady most everyday. Yesterday it was rainy and she thought I was too dirty to sit in her lap. So into the bath I was dunked. Now I like water....frolicking at the edge of a lake or river, great fun. But being dunked into a soapy laundry tub, not fun. What's to learn from this? Advice from Nice Lady's grandmother: It does take pains to be beautiful. There is much to learn from our forebears. Hers, anyway.
