Bathing time!

First, we were to strip. That was easy enough, I just had to slip out of the simple nightgown that served as my only piece of clothing. It had short sleeves and reached just above my knees, though that was only because I was so small. One would not expect such a simple piece of rough, brown cloth to provide much comfort, but as I pulled it over my head and the cool air hit my body, I really wished I could put it back on.

Once I was naked (safe for my collar, of course), a guard quickly dragged me to the side and hosed me down with cold water. I protected my delicate ears with my hands to ensure that no water would get inside of them, just as I had been taught. A (probably intentional) side-effect of that was, that I couldn't cover my body, and I couldnt help but let out a high-pitched squeal and squirm as the freezing water hit me.The guard seemed to enjoy toying with my **** body in this manner, though he preferred to look at my more supple sisters. Maybe I would be bought by someone who enjoyed making me scream? I shuddered at the thought.

It took only moments before I was completely drenched in cold water. Normally, that was about it, but to my surprise, I was handed a piece of soap and told to scrub myself with it and even wash my hair! I did it as fast as I could, though I didn’t get to do it often I knew how to wash my hair. When I felt and smelled clean, I received another hosing and was ready to go.

"Out with you!" the guard shooed me out into the courtyard. Still wet, the cold morning air made my fur stand and I wrapped my tail around me to try and stay at least a little warm. A couple of my sisters were waiting in the courtyard, a truck with a large cage on its loading bed behind them. I had never seen a truck up close before, or any car for that matter. They had shown us pictures of them, as well as of a lot of other things to give us a little bit of what they called “common knowledge”, but I was keenly aware that there were so many things I didn’t know.
