Today Spike got a Total Makeover!
Here's his before pictures. He's such a cutie pie!! With the flash you can see his very fuzzy schnozle: In this one you can see the hair going up his legs and on the top of his back: Time for Phase I - The Bath! I put a plastic tub in the shower (to raise him up and save my back) with a towel on it (for traction for him). Get the water warm, toss him on on the tub and get started: I start with a basic dog shampoo, diluted with water (probably 10 - 1). I save plastic bottles to use as shampoo holders for the dogs - that's what you see in the bottom right corner. The dirt in the shower is from the previous bather - Mauser. ![]() Rinse time!! Doesn't he look thrilled!! "LET ME OUTTA HERE!!!" Ok, removed the towel so he DOESN'T have such good traction and move on the Whitening shampoo. Again - diluted with alot of water. You can see the shampoo is actually purple. If you put in on full strength you run the risk of getting a purple dog! Here you can already see the difference in color between the two front legs. I'm just finishing up sudsing up his right leg - the left leg was next: "I WANT MY MOMMY!!!" I couldn't get any shots of the shaving (my photog had better things to do ) so we just have to fast forward to the finished product.Remember - before: Drum roll ..... TADA!! He isn't completely shaved down - not baby-butt smooth, just relatively cleaned up. I didn't want to put him through too much at once. ![]() Spike says thanks for looking!

I agree! He is getting so grown up. I remember when he fit in the palm of your hand.
