I have no problem with her being outside and am thrilled that she likes to hang out with our two bigger dogs. BUT, she always wants to stay outside. I am curious how we can keep her hair pretty and clean. Since she is a puppy, she doesn't have the long beautiful hair, yet. But, it is still getting very dirty, and the vet told me to absolutely NOT bathe her more than once a week, and she even said she would prefer us bathing her once every 3 weeks.

(Please keep in mind she is almost 15 weeks and close to 5 pounds. So, she is not a teensy-tiny Yorkie. And, of course, we have a fenced yard.)
