Gracie gets a weekly bath. At first you would have thought she was being tortured every time it was so pathetic. The more we did it the more she adjusted to it. I recently purchased one of these:
Rinse Ace 3-Way Pet Faucet Sprayer at PETCO
This sprayer has 3 speeds so I can have a slow amount coming out when I do her face. It gets the job done so much more quickly and i get everything rinsed out of her fur easily. I use it on my kitchen sink as that is the best place for me to bathe her. I wrap her right up in warm towels and comb her out as I sit in the living room. When her coat is combed out I blow her dry and we are set. What used to take a good hour now takes about 20 to 30 minutes tops. She doesn't even get a chance to get cold but i always turn up the heat before bath time anyway
