I've been bathing Darwin once/week, he gets smelly if I go longer than that. He also likes to roll around in grass and likes to get down and dirty. He HATES his baths...I am literally in the tub with him and he's still scrambling to get out, and I haven't quite figured out how to bath his face properly (I use baby no tears shampoo) b/c he wriggles so much! Does anyone put cotton balls in their ears? His ears go back whenever he's in the bathtub, so I don't think water can get in anyway. He eats about 1/2 cup of dry food (Bil Jac/Royal Canine mix) a day, I just put it down in the morning, and he nibbles on it. Then around 6pm he gets 1/3 packet of wet dog food with a bit of cheese sprinkled on top! He loves the wet food and horks it all down!
