Hi Chloe's Nana
-- Our puppy will be 6 mos. old this month and she doesn't seem to have the stinky problem anymore (other than outside or wet dog smell sometimes, which isn't the smell we were concerned about originally). Someone here at YT mentioned something to the effect that their pup had outgrown their stinky problem, and I'm guessing we've reached that point, too, with Jewels. Hope Chloe does the same.
And ta-da, my big triumph in the last week was that I was finally able to clip Jewels' nails. Between them being totally black (can't see the quick), my eyesight, and my expecting her not to sit still, I was tentative about clipping. But she sat there like a princess getting a manicure.
I think she wanted more of that!
(And now I have experience actually doing it.)
