: Joe,
: So what your trying to tell me is that Igs don't like water?
: From the many post I have read here I thought that Ig's liked water!

Hi Wendy,
I'm sure they do not mind the water on their own
terms. But being dropped in a tub by a giant, seems to
upset all the Igs that I have ever know.
Another example: Everytime I take my dog to the
park, first thing she wants to do is jump into the
creek.... and stay in the creek. This is the same
dog that gives me the "you're the meanest daddy in
the world" looks while I'm bathing her.
I guess no body likes to be told what to do or
where to go.... lol
The soaks are still good for you Ig, even though
he probably does nto think so......
Take care,
Joe III
