[nagdu] Stinky doggie!

[Daryl Lang]

Thank you so much for the suggestions. We gave Jenny her first bath at home last night. It was definitely a two person job, so my husband did most of the washing, & I reassured her that it was okay to sit in the bathtub. She does not like water. She did great! For sensitive areas like her head, we used a little bit of water in a jug. That seemed to help a little bit, and kept things from getting out of control. She got out calmly, wake her tail maniacally, and is happy. She doesn't hate us, and she smells clean :-) I have washed her bedding at work, but I don't know if the pillow part is washable. I've just wash the cover, and I know for sure that the pillow is full of doggy smell. :-) thanks so much!
