all three of my little buggers absolutely hate water, especially bath time. I got a large Rubbermaid type tub and put sand in it. they love it. I put a little water in it to help pack nicer and it keeps the dust down. when its hot out, I put cold water in it, and maybe a couple ice cubes. Isabelle, loves to dig, dig, dig. Rosco, loves to do the freestyle swim in it and fling sand everywhere Bear, just digs a hole and lies down and enjoys the feel of the sand [Posted in FML issue 3468]
