you were kidding, I know that.. but, that is exactly what some people do.. their dogs get a real bath once a year.. trust me, we used to own a grooming shop , I know.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Liane Fossland To: stormygsd@xxxxxxx ; marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx ; 'the list' Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 4:20 PM Subject: RE: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: clean dogs Where is everyone's sense of humor? Did you really think I would just throw the dogs out "in the rain"? Think about it, how often does it rain in Arizona? Besides, the question was what my favorite way was. Actually I do enjoy bathing them, even the pups who don't mind at all except for the nails - then they scream their heads off.

I hate wet dogs - or should I say dogs being wet - so 'out in the rain" is not an option to me.. all my runs have roofs and in winter here (where it rains a lot) they have lots of dry shavings in their runs and they only get out for short periods to run and to be in the house.. no romping in the muddle puddles for my dogs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn" <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx>; "'the list'" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 8:57 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: clean dogs > Subject: clean dogs I washed and dried 6 dogs today.
