Susan said… - I have been training her for the drier as it allows me the freedom to bath when I want, as well as her not getting chilled on wet days or winter. I had hoped that would be your answer and that I wasn't potentially ruining her coat or presenting her at less than optimum. Thankyou!!

Melinda Auld said… - Yikes - Zinger sounds like he's enjoying his new life in WA lol...your poor fish! Luckily, my dogs have not thought to get at the fish food, or the fish (yet). Maia did once chew open a bottle of methylene blue (used to treat fish diseases) on our cream carpets. To this day, the stain has not completely disappeared. That was one occasion where I was not quite able to calmly go get the camera and take a photo... Think my exact words (or scream) was something along the lines of, "OH MY GOD, what the f*** have you done??!!!" But I still love her LOL

Lynn Spencer said… - Thanks Michelle. Just love both breeds, so I have to have 2. They are both the same age. Got them as pups together. Your Gordon puppy is so cute and your 'big ones' look amazing.

- Thanks for your comments, Michelle. I was too much in shock to remember about photos at the time. It wasn't until later that I thought it would have been a good photo opportunity!
