In Defense of Not Taking Baths


Chip-Chip may be your best argument against taking a traditional bath.

For a ground-dwelling little critter--who rummages through the leaves, retreats to an underground burrow, and roots around in the dirt for tasty tidbits--Chip-Chip is amazingly clean and well-groomed, no doubt part of his good breeding, mentioned earlier.

Note the close-up photos. His whiskers are immaculate. His fur is smooth and shiny. His toenails are cleaner than mine. And he smells--well, at least not objectionable--as far as I can tell from a distance of a few feet away. And he doesn't even have the option of deodorant.

So all in all, if you're nagged to take a bath, just point to Chip-Chip. Be cautioned, however: The only downside is that you'll have to spend a lot time out of your day licking yourself.
