I thought I would faint the first time I bathed Toto ... took Patrick and me both! We didn't know how cold-natured she was and even after wrapping her in a thick dry towel she shivered! My poor Patrick ... Toto is shivering like crazy ... I'm wailing "I just know she's going to die ... I have probably given her pneumonia!!" He, always the calm one, calmly got a little heater from the garage ... plugged it up in front of us and she finally warmed up. Even now, I push the heat to 75 or the A/C [whatever the season] and we just "sweat" until Miss Prissy Paws is comfy again!!  |
I know exactly what you mean! The first time I gave Zoey a bath, she had been home for one week (making her 7 weeks old). I had researched all about Yorkies before we got her and all I could remember was how "fragile" they were supposed to be. She did fine with the bath, but then the shaking set it. I freaked out just like you did!
All I could think about was I was going to make her sick! We ran for the blowdryer, but I was scared of even that because I was afraid I would burn her! When the whole ordeal was over she was a cutie, but I was wiped out! LOL I told my husband it was worse than giving our children their first baths!
