Well....

4.5 hours later and not dried, we were done. I forgot we had to trim pads, bum etc. Did manage some photos but all wet. Without the dryers they don't fluff up as much as the usual. 

Here's a gallery before, after etc.

I learned doing multiple dogs at once. It's a new experience for me. Nathan helped the pups when it came time to do pads and bum and a quick photo or 2 by holding them in place for me otherwise it was me doing the bathing, combing out etc.  Nathan did carry in a batch of pups in for me and back outside so they could dry each time. I can't imagine doing it entirely on my own.

How did the Jeannie pups do? Well they had too many bubbles as you will see in a quick photo I took. It was hard washing and clicking - believe me. Next time I ran the bathing beauty less time ahead of time creating less bubbles. Jeannie's had bubbles up to their ears. heh

But they did rather well considering.

Too many favourite pics to name. I was so surprised when I saw all of Jeannie's pups together in the tub but not as surprised as seeing so many bubbles...so funny. Good for you Darlah getting them all done.

Oh my, how I envy the lucky 18 families.

The faces and expressions on the pups faces as you wash them are precious!

Puppies and bubbles ... You can't get much better than that.

I see one doggy was quite anamoured with the gremlins ... Too bad it wasn't Clarity, although I did see a couple of them approaching her and she wasn't actually running.
