I just gave Lucy a bath and blow dry last night - she wasn't THRILLED with the process, but she endures... stoically... I look at it as a chance to prove to her that baths are not a horrible thing. They are necessary from time to time, and we try to make it as quick, matter-of-fact and drama-free as possible. Each time I give her a bath, she seems to relax sooner than the time before... Now, if I would shove her in that contraption, where do you think all the trust we've been working to build would go??? Right down the drain!! And as was mentioned - the results are very, very lacking! The dog looked better before she went in!! :/
