Aim of the Game

Race around the board washing Soggy Doggy™, but watch out — he loves to shake himself dry! Make him shake and it's back to Start. Be the first player to make it all the way around and back to the doggy basket to win!

Set Up

NOTE: Before first use, we recommend washing and thoroughly rinsing your dog before assembly.

A small amount of assembly is required before playing Soggy Doggy™:

• Insert 3 x AA (LR06) batteries (not included) into the base unit as shown on the opposite side of these instructions and turn ON.
• Push the two swivel brackets on the Soggy Doggy body into the slots in the bathtub. The post coming out of the bathtub MUST go through the slot on the underside of the body. Carefully place the Soggy Doggy™ fur over the body frame (step a). Align the post with the arrow. Insert the post into the slot.

Then complete the set up:

• Lay the Game Board on a flat, level surface and place the base unit into the middle (step b).
• Insert the shower attachment. Make sure the shower head is directly above the Doggy (step c).
• Pour water into the bathtub until just short of the rim (step d).
• Push down the paw-marked handle a few times to prime the shower and get Doggy a bit soggy! (step e).
• Each player chooses a playing piece and places it on the basket space of the game board. Then lay the 4 tokens out and you are ready to play.

How to Play

The youngest player rolls the die and follows the actions:

• Roll a Pink, Blue, Yellow or Red and move your playing piece to the first unoccupied space of the matching color on the game board.

Then follow the action shown:

• Roll a paw showing 1 or 2 [paw-marked handle icon, 1 or 2 paws]: Push the paw-marked handle down 1 or 2 times.
• Roll a bone showing 1 or 2 [bone-marked handle icon, 1 or 2 bones]: Turn the bone-marked handle clockwise a half turn (until it clicks) 1 or 2 times.
• Roll a question mark (?) = Roll again.
• Roll a paw (single paw icon) = Move your playing piece to the space in front of the player furthest around the game board.

Watch out! Sometimes when you turn the bone-marked handle, Soggy Doggy™ will start shaking to get the water off. Turn the handle one half turn to stop him from shaking, move your playing piece back to the basket space on the game board and pick up a token with the matching symbol to your playing piece. If Soggy Doggy™ starts shaking but you already have a token, you can give this back to stay on the same game board space. Play then continues.

The basket space on the game board is multi-colored. The first player to get back here is the winner.

Play again? Return the tokens and lay all the playing pieces onto the basket space of the game board. Check that there is enough water in the bathtub and start again.

Caring for Your Soggy Doggy™

All dogs must be cared for and Soggy Doggy™ is no different.

• Only fill Soggy Doggy™ bathtub with cold tap water as other liquids may be harmful to people and could damage the game.
• After playing, always tip any water out of the bathtub, push the paw-marked handle down a few times to clear any remaining water, pat the dog dry with an absorbent cloth or kitchen towel, then leave out of the box until completely dry. DO NOT MECHANICALLY WASH OR DRY ON OR NEAR DIRECT SOURCES OF HEAT.
• Remove any objects from the playing area which could be damaged by Soggy Doggy™ shaking.
• A full bathtub should last for a few games, but if not simply refill the bathtub between games.
• Do not let the base unit stand in water and take care not to get the ON/OFF switch and battery box wet when filling or playing.
• If Soggy Doggy™ is not showering correctly, ensure there is water in the bathtub and that the shower head is not blocked.
• Performance may be affected by the battery life. Always use fresh batteries.
• To avoid damaging the electronics, do not pour water over the product. Only pour water into the bathtub.

This will minimize the impact on the environment and human health from soil and water contamination by any hazardous substances, decrease the resources required to make new products and avoid using up landfill space. Please do your part by keeping this product out of the municipal waste stream! The "wheelie bin" symbol means that it should be collected as "waste electrical and electronic equipment".
