How to dry an OES the fastest way?

Hi,

Just wanna poll for some suggestion on how to dry an OES up the fastest way after bath. Typically, it took me 2+ hours to bath and dry him up. I guess the bottleneck is the drying part...It took the longest time. Basically, what i do is i first wipe the excess water off him using a beach towel. Then i use a handheld hairdryer with a slicker brush to dry and fluff him up at the same time.

Just curious, how long does it take for you guys to bath+dry your OESs? Any comments welcome! :wink:

I usually us a shami, like you dry your car with to dry Max, then I use a small shop vac on reverse to dry him. This way I get cold air. I found that a regular hair dryer tended to shut off before I got finished. I'm not sure if this is a recommended way but it does work. I still take about 1 hour to get him finished

I bought mine at Sears. It's the smallest one they have (2 1/2 horse power). Sells for about $40 and it has a reverse on it so it blows instead of vacuunimg
