Bath and More

I have to admit, I am a work in progress. You ask what does that mean? I started with the Jeannie pups and due to time constraints, I decided to do 4 at once. By Adele's 4 I gained more confidence and got more photos. Sorry about that. 

I sort of still have a lot to do before people arrive tomorrow. I did get treat I ordered via Biopaw for the loot bags. The pups will like the treats I bought.

Here is a gallery before their baths.

We tuckered the crew out in hopes they would be compliant for their baths. I needed them to be tired if I was going to do 4 at once. They played with Tracy, Tenshi and Thyme. They ran around like crazy. I waited till they started to lay down and I then did Jeannie's 4 first.

How were they?

At first they were tired and a bit disoriented. What the hey are you doing and then they relaxed. I sprayed 4 with shampoo and conditioner then I rinsed them off and one by one I towel dried and placed them in a wired crate with a dryer blowing into it. After I had 8 in the crate, I took the 1st one out and dried under my other dryer and attempted to take photos. Nathan was at the store. Dennis was with the dogs and Tracy was working so it was just me juggling. hahahaha It all worked out.

Be sure to check out the videos.

I don't know how you do it Darlah. You are amazing!
Excited for all of the families tomorrow. I kind of wish that we were one of them.
Brings back great memories. Dallas is such an affectionate and loving dog.
