For Miley Cyrus, the bathtub selfie is almost like a rite of passage -- or a daily ritual. Either way, it was of the utmost importance that she officially introduce her brand-new pup, Emu, into her bubble-filled Instagram tradition, and that's exactly what she did last night, June 29.

Taking to the photo-sharing app, the 'Wrecking Ball' singer Instagrammed a sweet snap of her and Emu sharing a kiss while in the tub.

"ending the best day ever giving emu baby a shower in my bedazzled space cap cuhhh," Cyrus captioned the photo, hashtagging it "#shhitsawig." (Hmm… looks like a shower cap to us!)

Of course, Cyrus was outfitted in a sparkly blue shower cap and was seemingly topless (or at least wearing a strapless bikini top) as she flaunted her bare shoulders in the shot.

The pop star, always an active Instagrammer, was also busy honoring another pup earlier that day -- her late dog, Floyd, whom she paid tribute to by creating (and posting pictures of) necklaces and other gifts to commemorate her old dog.

While the bathtub selfie with Emu may seem strange to some, it comes as no surprise to fellow dog lovers and Miley's beloved Smilers, who are all well aware of her fondness for and dedication to her beloved pets. We know that losing Floyd hit the singer hard, and we're happy that she has a new canine friend in her life.
