6 Week Bath

In order of birth.... this took me 15 minutes per dog and then I had to do the photos and galleries. It's been a VERY long day! I mean REALLY long.

This is the first born boy. He was golden. He just stood there and looked around and didn't mind any part of it. He was exceptional and so relaxed.

This is the second born - the boy. How was he in the water? He was a riot. I think he thought he found a new found toy that was fluid and had bubbles.

This is the 3rd born - a girl. She was relaxed and tried to lick the bubbles. 

This is the 4th born, a girl. She laid down in the water and played pat-a-cake with it. What crazy fun they had with this water. Not sure what they thought it was.

Videos can be found here. Still uploading todays.

By the way pigment is still coming in. By the time they go home it wull be fully in. Tails are now up over theit backs most times.

Here is the gallery.

If it is any consolation, Darlah, your time was very well spent. Those pictures are adorable and will be treasured by their new families. I only wish I had some of Ripley at that age!

Darlah, these pups are out of this world gorgeous! That Jeannie sure knows how to make them, right Patches? Hahaha

Sue: Thanks...

It's a lot of work. Think I am the only one to do baths at this age and photos too of each. Most do baths only when they go home. Those that do I suspect will crate dry them as its just plain easier.

15 min x 8 = 2 hours just for the pups. I use 2 dryers at once.

The pups get 3 baths before they go home so they get conditioned.

I try to do what I would want if I was getting a puppy. There are days when I say - do I really have the time?

These puppies are simply irresistible!

These are gorgeous puppies. No doubt about it. And so good in the bath. Wow. Darlah I am sure you were exhausted when I bath Rusty only I am exhausted. I can't imagine. And then you did Rusty today as well and oh my what a beautiful boy I brought home. As you know you are my idol. I don't know how you do it.
