Dogs and Baths

Let me say up front that we are not fond of baths. We rarely have to bathe. We are German Shorthairs so we are fastidiuosly clean,and, we have no odor even when wet. However, some of the clients - especially the hairy ones - have an odor. And occassionally even unscented dogs roll in dead fish or manure. So...if you have to take a bath, get your people to take you to Ruff House in Redmond. We went on Thursday. (Don't ask why.) Ruff House is a self serve dog wash! It is spotlessly clean and doesn't smell like dogs have been there. They have waist high tubs that you walk up a ramp to get into, waterproof aprons for your People, lots of different shampoos and very nice dog dryers. To us a bath is a bath...but if you go to Ruff House, your People won't have to wash the towels or clean the tub..so maybe they won't be cranky that you rolled in that nice pile of manure. And it costs less than $20 for the tub, the shampoo, the conditioner, the towels and the dryer. And get this..they have Cheese Snacks! Ruff House..Dina owns it. Tell her that Dawson and Cordy sent you. (We like the tea tree/aloe shampoo. Let us know which shampoo you like best.)
