What the hell, no need to apologize for profanity!

Not be at all disrespectful, but I just wanted to say that there is some profanity in my writing. I apologize.

Wow, what great comments! Sarah, what is your blog address? I’d love to read it. Brandy, it’s a teeny bit complicated to start a blog without being able to see what you’re doing. With your permission I will email you separately with advice. Laurie, I had such fun at the ASPCA award ceremony Monday that I am *hoping* Hanni and I will have another similar event in our future — if so, I’ll count on you for the nail polish! Will give details about Monday night in a future blog, but for now –thanks to all of you for your comments!

Aw, I wish I read this entry sooner – I would have offered to polish Hanni’s nails myself! I’m no manicurist, but I think I could have handled the job. Next time there’s a special occasion, let me know and I’ll do it on my lunch hour. See you soon!

I have bathed my dogs once a month or every six weeks. My goldens could go longer, but my labs skin always got oily until I found instabaths and labs don’t sink but when they get up from an area it stinks. My friends lab always stunk so it always needed a bath. My bald vizsla could get a bath every few months with regular brushing. I must admit though my friend and I didn’t brush every day, we’d miss a day every third day or so. Also my yellow lab needed it more of course because you can start to see the dirt. I’ve always bathed them myself except my first golden who I had trimmed, until I ofund out you don’t necessarily have to cut a golden. By the way, how do you start a blog. I might as well start one for my class at GDF.
Brandy who has one week!

Hi Beth,

Yes, I will be keeping a blog. My current blog is kind of unique. I don’t have any particular writing style, but I write whatever I’m thinking – which is at times, too much.

My mind is a giant fruit salad bowl. But there are rotten fruits in there as well as the sweet ones. *smile*

Anyway, I’m glad I found your site. i can keep up with you.

Take Care,

Sarah

Although it depends on each person and their dogs needs but we also must think of the factor when bathing our dogs not only does it put the luster in their coats and the oils but it also helps with the dander. Dander is one of the highest allergies that people have when it comes to animals so bathing them though not as much as an outdoor dog 24/7 will still help keep their coats clean and keep their fur moisturized and dander down. Yes even being attached and going out in public constantly with the wind storms and the dust flying. This causes dryness to the fur. Yes we groom by brushing but that is not always enough to keep their skin clean, dander at bay and just make our dogs feel good and energetic.

For me I do at least bathe my dog once a month at least unless we are out on the dirty walkways and winds are blowing or even if it’s extremely humid which dries up ones skin then it’s more. Not to mention keeping the fleas, ticks and mosquito’s down by using the right type of shampoo with out so much chemicals.

Sarah,
It was great meeting you at ICRE-Wood, and I’m so glad you found my blog — now we can keep up when you come home with your new guide dog! When you say that you’ll be “typing away when it comes time to document adventures in Smithtown, New York” do you mean you’ll be keeping a blog after meeting your new guide? If so, please let me know — I’d love to keep up with all your adventures!

Hi Beth,

I believe we met at ICRE Wood this past week. This blog was the first place I visited as soon as my rump hit my computer chair. Camp is finally over and the solitary, hard working (well sort of), enthusiastic, college student is home at last for a well deserved rest.

I’m glad Hanni had a good experience with Atlas. I’ll have to learn of good places for grooming and such when I return from my trip.

I will also be typing away when it comes time to document adventures in Smithtown, New York.

Have a wonderful weekend!

-Sarah

Hi, each of mySeeing Eye
Seeing Eye dogs has been different. My first dog had some skin allergies that required a bath once a month to keep her comfortable. I usually give Iggy a bath every couple of months, depending on the time of year and what is happening. I do groom him every day but sometimes in warmer weather, he just needs a bath more often My yellow Labrador Tibbett loved a bath and if you weren’t careful, she would jump right in to the tub.
