I also do the once a week bathing. But I do however juggle with the bathing schedule. His bath day use to be Friday nights before going to spend the weekend at my mom and dad's, but now we live with mom and dad so I'd like to change it to Sunday night after taking him out to the park or something. I do like to wipe his face sometimes.... I hate beard crustiness! GROSS!!!!
However, if I plan to take him somewhere like say the beach, park, or on play dates with my cousin's dog or with cute little Uni on an odd day, I might hold out and let him get nice and dirty and then bathe him when we get back. What's the point of putting him through 2 baths so close together?
