[PyrNet-L] Re care: dry shampoo

["Joe & Kathy" <chewbear@msn.com>]

Hi all,  Had great luck with my first Samoyed using a shaving cream like product.    In the dead of winter he came in black with flea's jumping off.   The name escapes me but it was available at the Acme.    It went on pretty cool and was worked down into the coat with out much problem.    Would have made a great picture for one of the old 'take it off, take it all off' Noxzema commercials.    It did away with the fleas and left his coat unbelievably clean when brushed out.   We used it a couple of times in winter to keep him nice while apartment living.    Course when we got a house into the tub he went.

 

       You should have been here last weekend when both the 'Bear and Heidi got bathed.    When 'Bear saw Heidi reluctantly entering the tub he took off for the hills.    Once in she enjoys herself.     'Bear actually planted his front feet on either side of the door frame when we tried to bring him into bathroom.    Kathy and I got to laughing so hard he escaped for the moment again.       It's not that cold here in Jersey yet so we just dry them with large, very large towels just for them, then limit their out side trips until they're dry deep down too.     

       Another thing Kathy does is use 'mister hand',  one of my old socks and a bucket of doggy shampoo water.    This is for the quick clean ups of the two slime balls, mostly 'bear',  and Heidi's paws and chest if she's been digging.    Hope some of this helps.
Kathy, Joe, Chewbear(Sammy) and Heidi(pyr)
Wish you well.. Woof, Woof
