Yoda's finally accepted the fact that Momma has to bathe him, but ONLY because afterwards, he gets to play with the towel. He has begun to like the water the last few months, but before we did need two people just to bath him a little bit. We still need to hold him down to cut some of his hairs around his face and we still don't dare to cut his nails!
But after his bath and blowdrying, he gets to play tug of war with his towel, and boy, does he enjoy that! That's his little "reward" for going through the bath, and I know he knows it!
