Hello everyone, it's been quite a while since I've posted. Baden is close to his 3 yr anniversary. Until recently he was hopping along with ease. His dysplasia stayed in check throughout. He is now 11 & has slowed down a lot. So he takes a little longer to make his rounds around the yard. Still amazes me! The problem we are faced with is taking a bath. While he absolutely loves baths, he can no longer get into the tub.He is not willing to be picked up. His front leg can't get his back legs up & into the tub. I am hoping to find a solution. Something short enough so he just steps into. Has anyone gone through this?
Thanks,Chuey
Lori that is a GREAT idea! You could put Pawz rubber boots on him so his nails don't puncture the bottom.
It's great to hear from you Chuey!
