water just doesn't get in there unless they are standing right under the water the entire time. Morgan moves to one end or the other and if she gets sprayed she moves away. I soap her up the same way i'd do it in the sink so i make sure no soap gets in her eyes. it doesn't get splashed around. i've never had a problem with either and i don't even worry about it

after the bath i'll take a cotton ball and dry the insides of her ears but i don't even do that every time. she's never gotten an ear infection.

My current pair hate the shower but my first Yorkie Rambo loved to join me, but then he was one of those special boys who just wanted to please me. He would go anywhere and try anything I asked him to, bless him. Miss those younger, free-er days sometimes.

yes, yes, yes, we always shower with our pups, it is way easier than the sink. Since we shower every day we have no set schedule, but normally we bath them on Sunday morning. They don't seem to mind abit, and love the grooming afterward.

That is so funny, I just did that for the first time with Lucy. It makes bath time so much easier!!

YOUR IN THE SHOWER!! with soap and shampoo and all kinds of cleaning stuff.. how could it be gross? if any dirt gets on you, just rinse it off! its not like im taking the dog and rubbing it on my coochie, or licking his wet fur with my mouth!! LOL!

I prefer my dogs and I take separate baths. I never thought people took showers or baths with their dogs until I saw the Petco commercial. My bath time is my personal time to be myself and relax. I like to pamper myself when I take a shower or bath. I allow my dogs to come in the bathroom with me when I take a shower or bath; they just cannot share the experience with me. I think this question is a personal or cultural type of question. What is comfortable for one person might not be comfortable for another person.

plus its quicker. i don't have to break my back bending over the tub, or clean the kitchen sink first before putting her in there, then rinse it afterward. less mess on the floor/counter too. when we're done i just leave her in the shower with a towel and she dries herself off while i do the same. her shampoo is already in there so i don't have to cart it around the house.

You still have to clean the shower after the furnabie get out anyway after I give denzel a bath in the tub I sterilize the tub I know they are our babies but I think that crosses the line for me and by satin this I'm not offending anyone just simply saying what works for me not anyone else

heehee Yes, I tried it once this summer when it was really hot. Daisy was very surprised and it was sorta fun.

I usually just give her a bath by herself so I can be standing by with a warm towel and snuggles when she gets out. Hard to do when you are trying to dry yourself off.

No wonder people roll their eyes at us! You get a Yorkie and start doing things you never thought you would EVER do!
