Alvin's Bath Before He Departs

Nathan was playing with the flash so the photos do not do him justice. Gerda and her sister saw him and went wow. He's a wow in a small package but they each are in their own way.

The flash didn't bring out the browns in him. Oh well, it's how you learn. I think I will hide the flash. heh

Here's his gallery.

How did he do in the bath? He just stood there. He didn't mind any of it. He wasn't crazy about his pads getting cleaned but other than curling his toes, he didn't complain. Oh yeah, Tosca curled her toes too. It must tickle to take a clipper to the pads.

I can't believe we will be down to 4 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday and 2 on Monday. then Charlie comes back for a visit. Fun!!
