Bath Time

That was so much fun. It was Alfie's first bath since we got him home and he loved it. I was guna take a picture but he was splashing around so much water was going everywhere

Thats no excuse we want piccies

no good with out pictures

Glad he enjoyed it. I want to give Marley a bath, but am unsure of what age we should do it. also i dont want her to freak out and be afraid of water. she is 12 weeks today.

Alfie is only 9 weeks old. We put a towel on the radiator so it was nice and warm. smells nice and puppy again. will try for pics next time.

Aww bless, pleased he liked the water

I personally wouldn't worry about bathing them yet, there very young and it can wash away oils in the skin, not having a go, just wouldn't bother Xx

thats what i had heard about the oils, when would be a good age to do so? also EVERY single time i pick up marley, i hold her close to my nose and smell the top of her head lol. she is so soft, anyone else do that? lol

I never really have tbh. She gets rinsed off in the shower in the summer when she has been in the canal, apart from that I don't bother washing her. Baby wipes if its something stinky, but thats very rare

We dont bath Rocky unless it's really necessary, then just give a good rinse in warm water. Too much washing can strip the coat and skin of natural oils and dry the skin out too much.

Caryll uses a very good shampoo which I cannot remember the name of right now, Caryll, where are you ???

Its an oatmeal shampoo
