| Stinky babies...Tired Mommy I am looking for an easy way out I guess? With two babies now, working all week, and sssssoooooo much going on around here on the weekends I am not able to bath the girls every week as I have been doing. They are getting a little ripe by the second, (or third) week. We are outside a lot and they seem to have that smelly outdoor smell. I do keep thier faces and eyes clean but am looking for something quick to freshen them up a little in between baths. What do you all use? Hopefully things will slow down a little and we can get back to the weekly or heaven help at least biweekly bathing. LOL |

| Bathe just 1 one day and the next day bathe the other. If you have time for a shower or bath, then take one in with you.

| Thanks for the suggestion. I may be brave enough to try it one day! LOL They are so big with thick hair the bathing is not what takes so long. Its the conditioning, brushing, and blow drying that takes forever. I use cool air so it is a time consuming process. I guess I am looking for a dry bath product(?) Any suggestions on those? I would like something natural. |

| After I give Madison a bath, I like to wipe her down with baby wipes everyday until next bath time. That seems to keep her fresher longer

| There are lots of different brands of dog wipes. I just bought a pack from walmart recently that I like pretty well actually!

| I bathe 8 dogs in full coat every Sunday. Once you get a routine down it does not take long. For most of them I can bathe brush blowdry and do their hair in a half hour. If I let them go for more than a week it takes much longer to brush them out and they suffer from the matts. |
