When Butt came here to live he was nothing but a big matted stinky mess,so he went to the grommers and was shaved down. During the summer he kept getting hot spots so I kept him shaved.I noticed in the last week he was starting to smell like a dog,so I knew it was time for a bath.I hate taking him to the groomers,he is gone all day and I don't know about him,but I have seperation anxiety.Well he hates water,he will even leave the room if I turn the water on to brush my teeth.My ex husband offered to come over and try to give him a shower.I pullled him and he pushed him in,but we got him in the shower.He stood pretty good with Mama keeping a loose hold on his collar.After we were done showering I blew some of the excess water off him with the shop vac.Then he was let loose,what a maniac!!!! He kept flopping on the floor rolling around trying to get the offending water off him.Then he targetted my bed
Needless to say my bed had to be stripped down and washed because everything was soaked.I think once it was over,he actually didn't mind it and was happy he got to stay home for a shower.I know I like the smell of him better showered at home,then when he comes home from the groomer.Hey you never know we might get the hang of this yet and I might even be able to shave him down and save myself the $80
Sorry so long,still being a fairly new Mama to a dog I'm easily amused
