One of my dogs hates baths but loves to play with hose water. Our compromise is what we call Super Soapy Fun Time. She runs around the yard while we spray her with the hose. Then call her in for soapy body rubs and scratches. Then she runs around the yard some more while we rinse her off. Finally she comes in for towel cuddles. She loves it. In winter, since it's too cold to do this, she just gets moist towel massages instead of her normally scheduled Super Soapy Fun Time. Not quite as good, but good enough for the cold months.

I had an indoor/outdoor cat when I was younger. One day I was curious where she went when she left the house so I tailed her. When she caught me, she was not happy. I was not where I was supposed to be so she walked back to the house, turning every few steps to yell at me and make sure I was following. I was clearly an indoor house human and not allowed outside.
