Hi all,
I gave the local junk yard dog a bath. He lives at a salvage yard, about a mile from where I live. He showed up on my front step this afternoon wanting a snack. I brought him in, gave him a snack then a bath. He was filthy. First I used Dawn Blue dishsoap, then an oatmeal dog shampoo for his skin. Then I set him in a drying cage with a heated blower on him. He love that part... it is nice and warm. Then I brushed him, and not having any blue ribbon, put a large pink ribbon around his neck. While I was washing and drying him, I put his filthy collar in the washing machine and washed it.
When both dog and collar were dry, I took him back to the salvage yard. No one there believed that I could wash him, that I am still alive, and that the dog was actually clean. They told me that they would bring him to me every month for a bath and pay me to bathe him.
Nothing like a clean, pampered Junkyard dog.

Glad you did that, I like it because you said he loved the drying cage and he liked it. Good job.

That is so good of you.
We are judged by the kindness we do to others who cannot do anything for us.

Awww that was a very sweet thing to do.
I bet that furbaby is a much happier dog being clean.
