If it's april it must be bath time

Jasper is overdue a good bath. A warm spring day seemed too good an opportunity to miss. He doesn't like baths that we give him, though he does love going in the ocean, lakes, streams or whatever water he can find.

He put up with this sponge bath (with only two escape attempts) and then ran around the garden barking with excitement. He's doing pretty well for a 14 year old. That's 98 in human terms. I hope I'd be running around at that age, but hopefully I'll be neither barking nor bathing outdoors.
