Also, as luck would have it maintenance just removed my sprayer because it was cracked & the new management company wont replace them. I'll try her bath tonight in the sink though, and have my daughter spot her. And I'll just have a couple of large cups filled & ready to rinse her.
Well, I still can't clip nails, but I try to make bath time as pleasant as possible. We started as a puppy, and gave a few cheerio's along the way. Counter is padded with towels, and I brush the teeth and do minor trimming before bath. Two things that freak them out is loud noises and water that's too hot. Dogs cannot tolerate hot water, I doubt if they like cold, but hot can really hurt them.
