I gave my puppy a late nite bath

Well 9 at nite had to bath Blue,(came in with pooie bum I WAS going to wash back end only and DAVE went and bath all of him) and with his puppy fur really never had to blow dry YET. But because it was late I had to pull it out. I could not get him on a table daughters art homework every where. So on the floor we were. He came and left not sure of this. After maybe 10 minutes he came a sat RIGHT in front and let me do my thing then he flopped over and was snoring away he just melted into the floor. I was able to brush his legs any which way I wanted. NOT like Sami. It was great, I might have a long hair sheepie YET :D The only thing that sucked was my new dryer came in today :roll: So I washed my poodle to check it out. MUCH FASTER.

my girls do the same thing. They put thier faces right into the dryer air, and after a few minutes curl up and go to sleep. Not ideal for drying thier undersides, but its worlds easier than the fight I was expecting!
ej, just wanted to say I LOVE your avatar. So cute. :)
AND I always like yours :D
oooh wish you lived here. Came home this evening to find green poop butt on Jack. Thankfully husband has a head cold so he got the honors of shaving off the mess. No tub time, just a lot of hand washing without getting him too wet there. No dryer or else he would have had at least a sitz bath. While shaving away, several blade cleans later, knocked off some fluff over his hips so he can investigate the rear without eating his hair on the way back there. What a pig.

Can't imagine a dog going to sleep with the dryer. Guess you have to start them early.
How does everyone else hand the those stinky treasure? My husband came in last night all flustered "He's got POOP on his butt!! Fix it!" This is why we don't have kids... he can't handle the dogs yucky butt, how on earth is he going to ever change a diaper. I keep baby wipes on hand for these episodes and usually have to comb it out. UCK :? I'm thinking I'm going to have trim the hair down around his bum to prevent them from getting stuck, i just don't want him to look silly. My hubby thought he could handle it by pointing the hose at his butt! Instead we had cold wet dog with dingleberries still attached! But he won't put his face down there to take care of it, that's my job.
I have to laugh, when we take walks, I get stopped all the time by people telling me what a beautiful dog I have. Clark always faces them and poses and I'm thinking, "oh if only you could see the end that is currently facing me... that turd hanging there is seriously NOT cute."
Yes, it works best if you do what I call a "sanitary trim" to keep the hair cut close around the bum. :) Drastically reduces the 'yuk' factor. :D
more yuk is when they decide to do the bum wipe on the floor :lol:

How do you do that safely? I was instinctively thinking about just such a trim when I was washing Peppo's behind yesterday.
I use the clipper around the exit port and make a shoot down from there. Longer hair on the sides hids the trim. When husband has the clippers, well, the whole rear from an inch on either side of the anus and down over the empty scrotum gets trimmed. It's not as bad as it sounds. Jack also need his "fenders" trimmed back, the fluffy upper legs as that's what he eats to get back to his rear to check for dingleberries. I really need to heep him less than 2 inches...sigh.
