[nagdu] Dog washing

[Tracy Carcione]

My last 3 dogs have been black labs, and I haven't needed to bathe them
much at all, though Echo did need bathing more often when she got older,
over 13 or so.
I brush the dog every day.  It's been at least 3 years since Ben had a
bath, and he is clean, with an excellent coat.  If I bury my face in his
fur, I can smell him, but otherwise not.
