Gypsy, I must hear more about this whitening shampoo! What is it and where do you get it? Carter could use a whole bottle of it!
I too vote for the backyard yelling pics! Priceless! LOL! Gotta love clean dogs. They always seem to head for the closest dirt pile to get themselves back to normal!
At our house the labs have always been bathed in the clawfoot tub which was quite a job with the 100 lb Labs. I used to be able to get them into the tub on my own but can't do it any more. Eider is smaller so it is a manageable but still a major job. We've done the hose outside bathing thing a few times but here in the northeast there is way too much cool weather in the year where that won't work. Thor used to get a bath when we'd board him (couldn't leave him home on the job because he thought he ought to eat the guy who came to take care of animals when we were gone) or I'd take him up there between boarding if he really needed it. I haven't even tried bathing Carter and Katie yet!
DH is tiling a bathroom downstairs with a specially designed dog washing shower area as I type! I can't wait until it is functional! It will have a hand held shower head and only a small edge to step over to get into the shower area. The whole room is tiled except the ceiling. Pedestal sink so there's no wood base to get wet. I can easily see Eider getting in there but I'm thinking even with that great spot, it might be a stretch to get my wild man Carter in there! LOL! I'll have to keep the stream idea in mind if we can't and see if I can lure him into a nice pool down in ours if it ever warms up here. I did put a kiddie pool out for them to cool off in when we had a few hot days but I think all they've done so far is drink out of it. I'm thinking Carter may give me quite a workout should I ever get brave enough to try to bathe him. DH might want to grab the video camera for that one
