| Awwwwwwwww, such sweet pics, but she doesn't look real thrilled. Welcome to YT. I've been MIA or AWOL the past few weeks, so I'm sure I've missed a lot of newbies. |

| What a cutie. Be sure to dry her off with a fan right away so she doesn't get sick....

| Aww! Your yorkie is so cute! You should probably wait till about 10-12 weeks before giving the dog a bath so there old enough and a little bigger. |

| What a cuties. I got Parker at 9 weeks, waited two day for him to adjust then gave him a bath. I put him on the washer when I was done with a towel down and blow dried him. He loved it. (Well maybe not loved it, but he did good) Congrats on your new baby!!!! |

| Thanks everyone for your replies!!! :-) I had Lucy for a few days before I gave her the bath, her belly was pretty filthy. Her fur is SOOO much more fluffy now. I made sure to dry her nice and good when we were done! It was funny, Puppers my boy Yorkie just watched and wondered if he was next. Lucky for him, he didnt get a bath right then cause he was off to the groomers today! I have had my baby girl for one week now - seemed like all the weeks/days before I got her went by slow, now time is flying by!!! WooHoo for us! |
