Pua tamandua vinegar bath

I was going to edit out the more boring bits but didn't get around to it. I put a bit of vinegar in the sink for her.

My best guess is the vinegar replaces the acid ants would be spitting on them if raiding nests. The boys we've had here have liked doing this too. Birds are known for anting, rubbing ants in their feathers or laying on an ant nest. No one knows for sure why but the best guesses are it helps prevent parasites or is good for the skin. Pua does leave behind a film and loose hairs when done.

wont she smell bad afterwards?

@Whodoesntloveloly No vinegar is an odor neutralizer and it's own smell goes away fairly quickly.

Pua is still my favorite! Of course I didn't know Stewie. I feel sort of funny watching this, like it is a personal moment for her! OK, now that she has moved on from her private parts, I am glad you didn't edit it down. I get to see the whole routine. She is such a special girl. Thank you for the continued education.
