Nancy- a doggy dryer, wow didn't even realize they had these, but I could see a quieter dryer being helpful, another thing to look into
Miranda- you just made me laugh so hard, because I do the same thing wt Lucky he is also 3 months & I am constantly following him around. I feel the same that he does a little better, wt me then wt my hubby & kids. I think it's the constant watching & taking him out
good luck!!
