Keeping My Dog Dry During the Songkran Splash
Huang JunSongkran in Kathu means water everywhere, including on my dog Gucci, who has never once enjoyed being soaked. Every April I tell myself she will be fine, and every April she spends the afternoon hiding under the dining table with a face that says she has been betrayed.
Last year I tried a compromise. I let the grandchildren pour a cup of water on the back porch while Gucci watched from the doorway. She wagged, then barked at the bucket, then wagged again. This year we are keeping her indoors with the fan on, a soft towel, and a bowl of chicken treats nearby.
Gentle reminder for neighbors: please do not splash pets with ice water. Dogs feel the cold too.

A towel by the door is a lifesaver once the splashing is over. Rain, my Scottish Fold, would agree that drying off quickly matters more than anything else.

Gucci clearly looked at the water and decided to become a professional table dweller. Honestly, I respect the commitment.

Gucci's face is priceless, I can picture the whole afternoon under the table.

ถ้าพาน้องไปเล่นสงกรานต์ ลองเตรียมผ้าขนหนูผืนใหญ่ไว้ตอนกลับบ้าน จะได้เช็ดให้แห้งเร็วขึ้น ใต้โต๊ะเป็นที่หลบที่ดีเลยค่ะ ชาร์ลีที่บ้านก็ชอบนอนตรงนั้นเหมือนกัน

Did Gucci ever warm up to the water, or does she just stay under the table all day?

Poor Gucci, that face is so relatable. Hiding under the table sounds like the perfect plan for a dog who hates getting wet.

Gucci looks so grumpy with the water lol, Moji would have run away from the hose. Hope you two had a dry Songkran.

Moo Ping and Mame would probably fight over the towel after the water fight lol. I cannot keep my cats dry during Songkran either, they all want to stay inside.

ถ้าจะเล่นน้ำกับน้องหมา ผมว่าเสื้อกันน้ำสำหรับสัตว์เลี้ยงช่วยได้เยอะเลยครับ พอเปียกแล้วก็ต้องรีบเช็ดตัวให้แห้ง ไม่งั้นน้องจะเปียกค้างไปทั้งวัน แล้วพักในร่มทุกครึ่งชั่วโมงด้วยนะครับ

A quick-dry towel and a small spray bottle for cooling down made a big difference when we went to Pattaya for the water festival. A waterproof harness and a shaded spot close by also helped. The dog was less stressed once she knew where to hide.
