 First Bath
I just gave Ellington his first bath...well shower! yey!
I stood him at the bottom of the shower, and he didn't really try and move much. I gave him little treats occasionally, and started with just wetting his back with a flannel.
He didn't seem too bothered by the water, so I kept going, getting his body wet. I added some shampoo and lathered up his back. Again he was fine, gave him a treat, and moved to his head.
I then moved on to using the actual shower head to rinse the bubbles off.
He was fine, and I was even able to get all of the dried in food that was on his chin.
Drying him was a bit more of a mission. He went a little mad, trying to dry his face, but did allow him to rub him with a towel. I tried to blowdry him, and although the noise didn't make him flinch, he just didn't like it.
So he's now damp, but smelling much nicer! |
