Bathing...with a touch of Ears

Phew...well I finally got the glue off! He was great for it, I was a mess.

I went ahead with the vegetable oil recommendation. I had gone to the store to buy detachol, but decided against it just for fear of reaction to his skin or mine.

The oil worked really well in getting the remaining goops out and he sat for it nicely, tail wagging the whole time, with me saying. "Just a few more combs I swear!" And Whisk on the on the floor giving moral support.

The aftermath...

Well I'm glad that worked for you. It makes it so much better when they are quiet & let you work with them.

I find it really helps if I just jibber jabber quietly,to Jasper while I am gluing or removing the glue.He just listens while I jabber and do my thing.Yes..I talk about the weather,,his brother,or just how so cute he is.

I did! It would really neat to have some more relatives of Duncan on the board.

Haha, I talked to Reagan the whole time too. I think if it doesn't help them. . . it certainly helps us

Whenever I groom the pups, I find myself muttering: Won't be long, I'm almost done, won't be long, I'm almost done....and shoving cookies in their mouths whenever they start getting twitchy
