Ear Hair

[Sweet Apple]

Buzz, my boy, has thick, course hair, and his ears get infected, if the hair is not taken out...In fact, his last trip to the Vet was for infected ears...The Vet tech, an older lady was able to use an instrument to wind up all the hair and get it out in one pull (each ear)...He squealed, like a stuck pig, and it broke my heart, but it is what it is, and it's something we're just going to have to deal with ...On the other hand, my little girl, Apple, has never grown ear hair, and it's not a problem...You gotta wonder if it's not a testosterone thing???

Although our winters may not be as cold as Illinois, we do get cold. We just came out of an arctic blast with temps around zero for several days. And, I still bathed my dogs. I just turn up the heat, use warm water, bathe quickly, immediately wrap them in a towel, and then quickly get them blow dried.

The way I see it, we don't quit bathing just because it's cold, why should I not bath my dogs?
