There is a car wash here that has a place to wash dogs inside. The bathing part is fine but the dryer costs me a fortune to get them dry. They do not have outlets in there or I would bring my super duper dryer : ( I have towel dried them real good dried them somewhat with their dryer and put them in a wam car to get home and dry some more. geeesh -----Original Message----- From: InquestGSD <InquestGSD@xxxxxxx> To: myjoygs <myjoygs@xxxxxxx>; Pinehillgsds <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx>; Showgsd-l <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, Dec 17, 2010 8:29 am Subject: Washing dogs in the winter I hear you. I take advantage of two facilities we have in our area, where we can do Self Serve Baths, indoor, with Hydro Surge bathing systems, very good dryers and you leave the mess behind....for $10! I only take Dexter and Jackie, the poodles are easy to do at home in the mobile grooming van. I dont do the GSD's in the van....it takes me hours to clean after their 30 minutes bath.......that's why they are called German Shedders. * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : 2 x Sel EX AM CH & Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, aka DEXTER Kaleef's Expensive Date (major pointed) aka JACKIE Inquest Huckleberry Fun - That Hot Black Dog aka HUCKS Inquest Doc Holliday - aka DOC and Bunny, aka Her Majesty, aka THE BOSS In a message dated 12/17/2010 8:21:37 A.M.

I agree way to cold to wash dogs, I hate washing them in the winter. -----Original Message----- From: Pinehillgsds <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> To: RopajaGSD <RopajaGSD@xxxxxxx>; Showgsd-l <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, Dec 17, 2010 8:14 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Beautiful Sweatshirt Yes, mine cane yesterday as well.

I did start a fire in the fireplace before even getting the dog wet and once he was blown out he and I sat directly in front of the fire, me in fresh Dry clothes and my "snuggie" shirt. Yeah!
