And they have to take a bath once a week? Oh I hope she likes taking a bath then...

Although today she walked into the bathroom when I was taking a shower and she didn't get scared from the sound of the water running or anything, maybe that's a good sign!!

Since we're on the subject of cleanliness...If I want to quickly clean her after she goes potty on the newspapers etc (she tends to step in her pee) can I use some sort of babywipes/wet-ones or is that bad for her skin?
Try the regular shampoo. She's more than likely not one that has sensitive, itchy skin anyway. Baby wipes are fine to clean her. I use them occasionally. Just be gentle the first time and you'll be doing yourself and her a favor. Mine have always needed a bath every 5 to 7 days. Yorkies don't have an undercoat - just hair like we have. They tend to get itchy by the end of the week. Their hair also tends to look oily, too.
