Perks of roommate-free living, #10: I can give the dog a bath, and that too at 3:00 am. The poor thing has had all of one bath since we've been in Winnipeg... not that she missed the experience but maybe she'll feel more motivated to stay clean if she feels clean and fresh-smelling. (That being said, it's not funny how thin she is when she's wet. She looks like a chihuahua.)
