Now that the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays have passed, we can all get on with the important business of celebrating the exceptionally esteemed National Bubble Bath Day. Taking place on the eighth day of this new year, the event encourages weary workers to take the time to indulge in a deep-dip session once a week. It’s an observance that the dogs of the world also heartily endorse — as this photo roundup of bubble hounds proves.

Professional bath recipe: Fill a barrel with bubbles, add one pup, lather, rinse, and repeat.

This sophisticated pup knows just how important it is to accessorize your bath time. Shower cap, chocolates, a glass of crisp white wine, and a bucket of fried chicken are always classy accoutrements to the bubbles.

Remember: A versatile ball can turn bubble bath time into playtime.

With a positive mentality, a real-deal bubble bath fiend can transform even the grubbiest kitchen sink into a heavenly spa session.

Double the bubbles and double the pups always result in double the fun!

Friend or foe? This Westie is being prudent and taking a cautious stance towards his rubber bubble bath tub invader.
