yep, and she knows the word, we refer to bath as the b-word around the house, otherwise she will take off running and hide under my bed LOL

This is so Bria doesn't really care about a bath but boyyy does she hate that blow dryer

Big T (all 5 lbs) doesn't like the cleaning process but loves to be clean!!!

After a good shower Teddy loves to run around the house like a lunatic.............man! he is crazy

I just love the way his face looks when he is wet

Just look at his avatar and you'll see what I mean

odie runs whenever i tell him its time for his bath.

sometimes he'll wait until he hears the water turn on and then he goes and lays in my bed trying to hide his head! lol

Samson hates the bath, when I pull out his tub he runs. it takes both my husband and I to pin him down. He fights to get out the entire time. he only weighs 4lbs so there really isn't a huge fight

Then when I am toweling him off he jumps from my hands and rubs his body all over the floor. he is better than when I first brought him home. after his bath he would alway eliminate himself on the floor as soon as I let him go

that was a little anoying.

Lilly lovesss taking baths. I always ask her "you wanna take a bath?!" and she gets all excited jumping up and down and following me around everywhere. I try to make it a really enjoyable time for her. Usually she'll get really sleepy and just sit there and then when I'm blow drying her, she usually just dozes off.

wishies · 01-12-2009, 11:10 PM

riley loves baths! probably because it takes me less than 5 minutes since he's so tiny & his hair is silky

he'll sit with me for the blowdrying part but he gets squirmy if it takes longer than 10 minutes. i gave madison her first bath the other night and she doesn't like it as much as riley does

it took me longer to blowdry her than riley cus shes so fluffy!

i use to use tropiclean puppy on riley before now i've switched over to pethead because the whole line smells yummy

Little Roxy HATES baths too, she doesn't like it in either the sink of the bath but I find the bath easier as she can get out of the sink too easily.
When it comes to blow drying she hides her head under my arm and lets me blow dry her body

Reese1 · 01-13-2009, 05:38 AM

Wrigley and Camden tolerate a bath ok, they just stand there. They don't fight or try and escape. Crosley on the other hand, hates it and tries to climb out!
The funny thing, Camden loves the shower! If you turn the water on and don't shut the door fast enough, she will jump in with you!

Dianezz · 01-13-2009, 06:17 AM

I have jsut been a lucky lady I guess. I did come here for advice when kirby was a babe.....18 weeks was his first bath with me.I use the shower spray in the untility sink with a place for him to stand when appropriate. HE has LOVEd that blow dryer from day one. After all is done he is sqirly and free. SOmetimes in nice weather I put a sweatchirt on him and let him air dry. with his cut , he looks the exact same after he dries.

hugz4all4 · 01-13-2009, 06:21 AM

Tucker hates them he tries to climb out of the sink the entire time

Potter · 01-13-2009, 01:02 PM

Pao hates bath when he was a puppy. He will scratch, climb back to scratch and climb all over again just to get out of the tub. I always come out with red scratches all over. I also had to carry him while I was blowdrying him and he only likes the lowest setting of the blowdryer so I have to carry him with one hand for quite a while before he actually dries up. Now he is 2.5 years old he is getting better. I think he is starting to enjoy his bath. I never wash his head and face directly because he hates it. I use a washcloth with a little soap and then clean with the washcloth after. As for blowdrying, he'd tolerate being on the bathroom plushy mat now but I still have to use low setting.

Dolce wasn't very fond of her first bath. She tried to climb out of the sink. I even made sure there was warm water in the bottom of it. Hopefully she will be better with her next one.

luvs_da_yorkies · 02-05-2009, 12:52 PM

sasha hateeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss taking baths!
hates!

what i did this last time was put her in the tub (kitchen sink to shallow and she hops right out) and didn't fill it up. i just kept the water running with no drain plug and used a cup to wash her - pouring the water over her.

she seemed to like that better than the tub with water in it.

afterwards i hold her in a big towl and she sits in my lap in the towl for about 30mins drying.

the hair dryer is OUT OF THE QUESTION and i can't stand to make her upset using it so i just make sure the heat is up on bath day and make is as quick as possible.

Yorkiekids · 02-05-2009, 01:45 PM

I don't think Piper hates them, but when he sees me setting up for his bath he kind of hides. Once he's in he's just fine. His favorite part is getting down, and running wild through the house trying to get the rest of the water off of him.
