Bathing Sharav at home

21 August 2023 by Natan Gesher

I could never stand to bathe Sharav in my bathtub.

I tried doing it a few times in our Tel Aviv apartment, and it was really traumatic – he was miserable and I was miserable.

I agonized over paying to bring him somewhere to get bathed professionally, since it seemed like such a waste of money and so inconsistent with my values, but eventually gave in, and was very happy with the result.

After that, usually I paid to get him bathed whenever I traveled and needed to board him, or sometimes when I was preparing for a houseguest and wanted him not to smell like dog.

Thank you to everyone who helped me with Sharav over the years. I hope you know that he loved you, and he loved spending time with you.

Would you be willing to share some memories or photos of Sharav with me?
