I have jsut been a lucky lady I guess. I did come here for advice when kirby was a babe.....18 weeks was his first bath with me.I use the shower spray in the untility sink with a place for him to stand when appropriate. HE has LOVEd that blow dryer from day one. After all is done he is sqirly and free. SOmetimes in nice weather I put a sweatchirt on him and let him air dry. with his cut , he looks the exact same after he dries.
