We all have our moments when we just need some downtime. Whether it’s reading a book, taking a nap, self-pampering with a pedicure, or listening to some soothing music, everyone has a certain ritual to unwind and prefers not to be disturbed when trying to relax.

Zara the Pit Bull has the same expectations when she’s enjoying a bath and gets a little miffed when that zen time is disrupted.

In the TikTok from @zarathepit, the canine cutie stood in the tub to get a good soak. The pretty Pittie heard a noise and was obviously irritated.

“When the doorbell rings during bath time,” the onscreen text explained, with the caption adding, “Like, I’m off the clock right now relaxing.”

Zara didn’t appreciate the unnecessary interruption. She obviously expected silence during her tub time, and the doorbell rudely broke the quiet serenity she requires during her bath. Zara expressed her frustration with several “boof” barks, telling her mom to send away any visitors.

“Relax,” her mom said, laughing at Zara’s diva-like demands.

Followers got a kick out of the Pit Bull’s prima donna personality, and understood why she was annoyed.

“Literally, how dare they when you are at the spa!” one remarked.

“Mother, there’s someone at the door,” another joked.

“I feel this exact way when the doorbell rings when I’m in the shower — just vulnerable,” a follower shared.

“She’s like ‘the one time I’m busy’,” someone pointed out.

Tips for Bathing a Pit Bull

Pit Bulls don’t require frequent baths since they have short hair and produce natural oils that protect their coat and skin. A good shampoo every one to six months is sufficient to keep your Pittie’s fur clean and healthy.

A few tips to keep in mind when bathing your Pit Bull:

• Be consistent — have a routine for your Pittie’s bath with a structured set of steps that acclimates them to the process.

• Slowly wet your dog’s fur — don’t rush your fur baby. Take your time getting their fur wet so they can ease into the sensation of the water on their coat and skin.

• Protect your Pittie’s eyes and ears — Avoid getting shampoo in or near their eyes. Pit Bulls are prone to ear infections, so keep their ears dry during their bath. Gently insert cotton balls into their ears for extra protection.

Your Pittie may grow to love their bathing routine and, like Zara, consider their tub time sacred.
