    Nelson - Jetpacking from bed

    Based on the answers and the study you refer to. I am a freak. I took a shower with my dog this morning. Pretty much every Saturday I bathe her in the shower with me. I find it easier than trying to hold her still in the tub. She is fine with it. I shampoo her, wash myself, then rinse her off. She's a dog, she doesn't look at my nekkid body as anything other than human that feeds me. The cats on the other hand, hell no! I want to keep my special bits in place!

    I used to shower with some of our birds. They loved to sit on the handles and play in the water, preen and flap:-)

    Uhhh no!


    That's a little gross!


    Nor do I sleep with him, eat with him or take him out.


    He is a cat... Why would I get into a shower naked, with a clawed animal that is afraid of water?

    When my dog Abby was a puppy she would follow me into the bathroom and climb into the shower with me. It was kinda weird, but also really cute.

    Even now that she's older she loves to lay right next to the shower when I'm in there.

    No, i dont have any pets any more and i had adopted a cat before that was strange that jumped in the shower when i was in there and liked to take showers i thought what is wrong with this cat i thought they hated the water and it would jump in and liked the water so i guess i had to wash the cat because of that.

    Our shih tzu does not like to take baths so I have to sit in there with the shower hose on and ready while my husband brings him in. Then I take a shower afterwards while my husband dries him up.

    We-elll, now that you mention it whenever my dog needs a bath, I'm gonna get totally wet and soapy anyway and need a shower afterwards, so technically I shower with him when he needs a bath. I wash him off, throw him out, and then finish my shower alone.

    Yes. But only because he asks. He's a big parrot and I think he thinks he's still in the Rain Forest. He's a bit dillusional at times.

    Yes... When my dog chester needs a bath .. in the shower he goes.. I figure if I am going to get splashed anyways .. i might as well come out shower fresh.. besides he is always calmer during his showers when i am in there with him... but since I am not home all that often.. I got my b/f to put him in his shower .. It works great.. because he gets bathed alot he is flea free.. and never stinks... (thank goodness)

    haha, well, once.

    I have a great dane and I was bathing him in the bath tub. He had a lot of soap that wouldnt come off with the bath hose, so I turned the shower on. I was in a bathing suit, and turned the shower on, and held him in there.

    So no, I didn't technically bath with him, but I did hold him in the shower.

  • We have a sun conure that enjoys showers. We have a perch for him that suctions to the wall :)

    I'd never shower with my dog or anything, though...I have a friend who showered with her pug and the pug got scared and his claw got caught in my friend's nipple ring...Yanked it right out. She had to get stitches.

    Don't shower with your pets, people! :) Or don't have nipple rings...lmao!

    Honestly ha ha...yes. Its very convenient. After we swim in the pool we are cold getting out. So it has become a habit to get out and run to the hot shower to warm up an clean the chlorine off of us. I actually have cat, Ragdoll, that if I don't close the door when I take a bath she will come in and actually get in the tub. Weird.
