| My Pixie is actually ok with being bathed..she doesn't like the shower too much..I fill a bowl with warm water and she will quite happily sit in that while I rinse her coat with the shower..I use a cup to quickly rinse her head, sometimes she will even lie down in the bowl of water with her little head resting on the side! sooo cute...

| Bailey will "tolerate" a bath and she doesn't run from me BUT those radar-like ears go back on her head and her eyes look so sad during the whole time...

| As soon as Finnigan knows its bath time he starts shaking. I think he's terrified of them. He did fine as a puppy, but for some reason after he "hit puberty" he turned on them. He'll try to scratch his way out of the sink/bathtub whatever I'm trying to bath him in. We've tried treats/soothing voices nothings worked to make him better.

| We are in the hate catgory. The hair dryer is even worse; she acts like I am going to beat her and just yaps her head off. Finally, we found that if my husband stands by with treats she will let me blow her dry in between treats.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Thor shakes like a leaf the entire time. You'd think he was being thown into boiling oil. He does, however, enjoy the hair dryer and being brushed afterwards, so at least it ends nicely. I also picked up a tip from another member: I microwave a towel for a minute right before I take him out so he can roll in something toasty. |

| Canyon is really good taking a bath, he just stands there and let's me do what I need to do, however, when bath is over and I whip out the blow dryer, he goes crazy and it's a battle. |

| My Coco loves the bath. He just doesn't like the water in his face. Pebbles loves it too. She even takes drinks from the faucet. Trixie on the other hand. BIG TROUBLE!! She is just a baby only 14 weeks and has had a few baths but she scratches me up so bad. My forearms get mangled. She does anything to get out of that sink. We tried the tub and that's worse. I end up getting soaked just giving her a bath. She's only 7lbs. and I can't control her. My 2 big ones love the blow dryer. They actually roll on their backs. I guess she is getting used to it just by watching Coco and Pebbles and they are not getting hurt. She will come closer. Sometimes they are worse then kids. Gotta love 'em. COCO PEBBLES TRIXIE |

| Turk doesn't hate them, he more or less tolerates them...like a good boy. I'm thankful he doesn't fight us on baths. |

| Mia is only 4 months and she already knows her towel. as soon as she see's the towel she knows is bath time. She is 4 lbs so I hold her in one hand and work with the other but I'll tell you I end up just as wet. She is getting better with the blower every time I dry her is better. I think she'll get used to the bath too. |

| I just gave Cassi a bath today and it seems like she enjoys it. I usually bathe her in the bathroom sink and would put the stopper in and let the water rise. She likes to lay in the water, especially when it's nice and warm. She's not too crazy when it's time to wash her face, but I leave that to the end. As far as blow drying, she tolerates it.
