Annabelle woke up this afternoon with her ear flipped up, looked so cute with her little bedhead!
She is in need of a bath so I took a tbs of her creme rinse and put it in a bucket of water and used a miracle cloth rinsed in it to give her a sponge bath and blew her dry, smells much nicer

Bed head

All fluffed up and smelling pretty

Thanks Diane - I'm trying to hold off on a bath for 1-1/2 wks - wanna bath AB the Sunday before Thanksgiving - we're going to the kids for TG and I want to take a clean dog, even though she'll come home dirty - 5 days of romping with Macy & Emma

A yukky smell.

I suggest a sanitary cut so there isnt any curly hair for the doodoo to stick too

Thanks - I do love my precious Annabelle, I was amzed how well the creme rinse sponge bath worked, got the surface dirt, fluffed up her hair and she just might make it the next 8 days until full bath day, I can always do another sponge bath in between

What a sweet surprise your family is gonna have when they arrive Annmarie

sani cut

Don't know exactly what that is. Does it have to be done by a groomer or can I trim the hair over there myself? How often should I expect to need that. My okld dog from the pound had hair not fur and never needed anything like that done

 

[MaxandMe]

newaustraliandoodle.........you can use baby wipes or you yourself can trim the area shorter so there is less "stuff" to deal with.

me...i keep doodles brushed, trimmed and bathed here at home though Peanut when needs overall cutting goes to groomer

Yup you can trim the area yourself or take to the groomer, we groom Annabelle ourselves so we do her sanitary cut.

I have a friend who has a siberian Husky and she used baby wipes on her

Chouette's bowel movements are usually firm so it's not a problem, but the couple of times I had her groomed at Petsmart seemed to keep her nice and short in that area anyway. It's always a good idea to get them used to trimming and to handling so that if you need to work on them you can. Chouette has learned that if there's something wrong, like a briar stuck to her hind legs, she doesn't have to go nuts because I'll take care of it. At first she was a little wild thing when she got into something that hurt or bothered her, so it's nice that she just waits, now!
