| First bath...I think I know the breeder trimmed him but don't know if that included a bath so this was his first bath at home. Cerulean did a great job! He didn't cry but he did try to escape twice. Me and my daughter couldn't help but laugh looking at this little scrawny rat looking creature that used to be my Ruley (nickname). I used Pro-Sense puppy shampoo and followed up with Mane & Tail conditioner. My baby smells so good right and he's back to his fluffy self. I didn't want to traumatize him anymore than I already had by blow drying him so I snuggled him with a towel for a few minutes and then let him run himself dry. After brushing him out I realize he is due for a trim soon and I was wondering what I can do about sticky hair under his eyes. It's not terribly bad but my fault because I didn't know I was to wipe his eyes on daily basis, I know now and do a nightly face, paw, private and booty wipe at night. I'll be sure to post pics later. I'm starting to get the hang of this having a puppy thing. |

| Congratulations on your pup's first bath! They are pretty funny looking when they are wet. Grooming is a learning process. You will be a pro in no time. Mane and Tail -- good choice! For taking care of the hair under the eyes, you can use a small comb. I like to use a flea comb with closely spaced teeth that gets all of the crusties and any other junk out: Safari Flea Comb Also separates the individual hairs. You can find them at most pet stores.
