Wallace's First Bath (with us)

Our little dog is a trooper! We just gave him his first bath. We were planning to wait for a bit and let him settle in, but the vet told us yesterday that he has a mild skin condition that she prescribed a shampoo for. She told us to bathe him twice a week for two weeks once every couple of weeks after that (or whenever he needs it).

The guy at the pharmacy made the great suggestion that we could bathe him in our kitchen sink, versus a bathtub. We have a nice, deep, kitchen sink, and he fit in nicely. It also helps that we are able to stand up to bathe him, versus kneeling down at a bathtub. Yay.

Wallace did really well during the bath. I think we were all a little nervous. He was shaking a bit, and we don't know if that was because he was nervous or cold. He may have been a bit nervous, but I wouldn't say her was scared, so that's good.

He also did well when we towel-dried him, and didn't seem fussed at all at that point.

He's all nice and soft now, and even a little more fluffy.

Good job, Wallace! :)
