Oh - one more thing from today that I have to write about....
Chloe needed a bath...and so we bathed her at home. In hindsight, we should have tried the kitchen sink. Instead, we partially filled a plastic storage bin with warm water, placed her in it and scrubbed her clean. She was very good. A little shaky at first - we haven't bathed her at home very often so this was definitely 'new' to her. But she stayed still in the 'tub', didn't move and was very patient while we soaped her up. We rinsed and finished up and wrapped her in fluffy towels and quickly dried her off.
She was so proud of herself - and so excited - she ran around the house like a torpedo dog for a long time....strutting around all clean and fluffy! Her fur is very curly and because we didn't trim her (we usually do get her trimmed a bit at the groomer - but it's getting colder now so I'm letting her coat get thicker than usual), her fur is uber-thick and curly. She looks adorable - and she knew it!
The boys noticed 'cuz she smells pretty again.
So I think we'll make bathing her a regular thing. We can just get her nails done at the groomer during the winter....thus saving money.
I enjoyed her 'Princess Chloe' run-about too much to want to miss that again. She loved being all prettied up!
