Howdy there!
 
  When it's time for my sharks to have a bath, I run warm water in the tub
and then put them in it.  I make it deep enough so they can stand or swim if
they want.  Toodles, my youngest, loves to swim around like a little white
otter.  Pogo, the oldest, will do the pathetic splashing/doggy-paddle "let me
out, I'm so abused" act when I stay in the bathroom, but if I leave to go get
something, or he just thinks I'm not watching, he'll swim around, too. Once,
when he was *done* with his bath, and he thought no one was watching, he got
back into the tub on his own and swam a few laps!  The other two could take
it or leave it, they just don't care.
 
  When I'm drying them off, they *all* like to crawl out of the towel while
I'm trying to rub them off in it, run up my arm, get right behind my head on
my shoulders, and shake off the extra water.  "Take THAT for getting me all
wet, you fiend!"  Then they want down to dance the ferret dance and sing the
ferret song.
