i kept coming across all these posts on Facebook about puppies getting in mud or enjoying their little swimming session in beach or pond and... i wasn't sure what i was going to do if my puppies did that.. lol
[quick update:
nami and i are in hawaii now, just got here yesterday.. and we are thinking of taking her to beach and see how she does

she met my family for the first time, but she was so excited to see my whole family! she's usually shy, so i wasn't expecting this at all.. lol my family is loving her to death too lol. i'm so glad she's doing well. she even went on a 3 mile walk around her house, around extinct volcano crater and she loved it!!!]
anyways...
thank you guys for your response..
but when you say *quick rinse* is that with shampoo and all... or just water?
i knew that pool messes with chlorine, but i wondered what other people with dogs do, if they take dogs to pools daily lol
but i didn't know that salt in sea water messes with their skin too? o.o
hair wise, does it get all matted since it gets wet, and they don't get a rinse or bath till later?
