| How Do You Bathe Your Yorkie On Vacation? We are on vacation and I struggled giving Piccolo a bath yesterday. I used a pitcher and the bathtub, by the way. How do you do this? Would love to hear your suggestions or stories. Thanks!

| If a tub was available, I'd use that. That's usually how I do it at home. But with only a shower, I use a sink and just fit as much of her in it as I can. lol

| I purchased a portable shower spray that you can attach to the tub faucet some years ago for Muffin when we traveled. I just took it with us when we went on vacation.

| Oh, great idea - wish I would have had something like that. Where did you buy it - do you remember?

| Some towns have those places where you can take your dog and bathe it yourself. Check in the phone book or at the front desk.

| I'll share with you what exhibitors use. There are attachments you can buy from PedEdge or other Pet Supply companies. You can either attach them to the shower head or the bathroom sink.

| Yes, they do. However, do to the size of various facets in motels/hotels. You need to purchase adapters. My bathing hose was put together by my husband. Everything purchased at a plumbing company.

You fold it down to slip onto the sink - that part is the narrower part of the hose. If you want to put it on the tub faucet, you don't fold it, because that part is bigger.

| I'd love to find one that goes over the tub faucet. I use a large plastic cup to pour and pour and pour over their bodies until I rinse out the shampoo. (it takes forever) A small shower head would make it so much easier.

| Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Love the pet sprayer idea. It doesn't look too expensive either.
