Aw, what a good bath tub boy Louie!Our Foster is learning about baths, stinky puppy! They rushed him with the tub and scared him with the blowdryer when she sent him to the groomers, so I am starting from scratch (not the cat).
Yesterday we were able to fill the sink with water and use a drenched washcloth on him. Not a full bath but a definite improvement in the trust department! Time, patience and gentle persistence. He is really a different dog since coming back to me!
(For those who don’t know this story, I fostered a very scared, badly injured stray dog last year for 6 weeks, then after 11 months the adopter gave him back, saying it wasn’t working out so I have decided to keep him. Foster Fail! Lol!
Blows my mind – He is a really good boy, just a bit fearful and he is making huge strides every day! :)
