Two squeeky clean Shelties -- Photos

[binka_nugget]

I think I've set a new record for myself! It took 2.5 hours to wash the two boys, dry them, cut their nails, trim some hair on the paws and clean their ears.

Onto the pictures..

Before we started

He was so po'ed at me. He absolutely refused to look at the camera for me. I had to move the camera in front of his face really quickly to get this one.

LOL! I love the contrast of emotions displayed here. Kai looks like he's having the time of his life..while Kaedyn remained mad.

Just a few more comin'

[binka_nugget]

Here's a bird's eye view of the two in the tub. :D Kaedyn's at a nice healthy weight now. As for Kai..well, we're working on it. ;)

Here's the album (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287519129) just in case anyone's bored enough to go through 166 photos. :p

Hope you all liked them! :D

[CathyBogart]

They look fantastic!! :D

[BCBlondie]

Wow you've done a wonderful job bringing Kaedyn back to health! Your dogs look great!!!:D I LOVE the pics!!! They're both sooo beautiful!!!!:D Thanks for sharing!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Great pictures!! Don't you just love bathtime! I am dreading it when Andrew deploys since it takes two of us to bathe Drake. I can handle the bathing part on my own, but won't be able to put him in the tub alone. And he will not willingly go into the tub on his own!

[Pam]

I love your pictures! They certainly do tell a story! LOL! How is your back after doing all of that bathing? LOL! I have to applaud you for even attempting to put the two in the bath at once. That is something I couldn't even begin to attempt. One at a time is enough for me! Thanks for posting! I can almost smell that clean sheltie fur! ;)

[EssTer]

he he he, wonderful photos.. looks like your doggies and you had a great time.. you've done great job...thanx for sharings pics:D

[primabella]

Great pictures Ash!! :D They are both so handsome! All nice and fluffy, hehe. :D Congrats on getting Kaedyn to a good weight. :)

[jenfer]

Great pictures. :) I love them. :D

[micki76]

Great pics, Ash! Kaedyn looks great! Aneko was extremely thin like that when she came here too.

I didn't realize there was such a size difference in your boys! Kai is even so much longer than Kaedyn!

They look so clean and hansome now! :D

[bluekat]

Great pics!:D They're both very handsome and very cute! I never knew that Kaedyn was so much smaller than Kai!:p lol

[Corinna]

Merlin got a bath last night. He managed in getting in to something in the snow . It was really stinky. He wasn't happy to have a bath at 11pm. Luckely hes shaved so it takes about 15 mintues to dry.

[Kfamr]

Awww! They're such handsome boys!

I love Kaedyn, because he's so tiny -- and Kai because he's so big. The most handsome, cutest Shelties i've seen! :D

[Dogz]

What adorable boys! It looks like Kai was enjoying himself, but Kaedyn even looks cute when he is mad.:)

Great pictures, Ash!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Beautiful doggies you have there! I love Shetlies! Isn't it great to have nice clean doggies?:)

[dappledoxie]

What great pics! Claire and Rebel are both due for baths. :D

[binka_nugget]

:D Thanks everyone!

My back still hurts a bit but for the feeling and smell of nice clean fur, it's worth it.;)

[Rachel]

Like Pam, I had to gasp when I saw you were doing the two of them at the same time. Plus you were able to take pictures during the process. :eek: Oh, the benefits of being young and having cooperative dogs for bath time.

[wolfsoul]

Awww, great pics! :D Sometimes I see a little bit of Timber in Kai's face...not sure what it is though lol.

[wolfie]

Cute pics! You have some cooperative dogs - Daphne and Cocoa squirm and struggle and try to jump out of the tub!

Oh, poor Kaedyn was so skinny! I'm glad he is up to a nice weight now. :)

[K9soul]

Wonderful pictures! Their coats both look wonderful. Kai looks like he could be a smallish collie, he's a big boy! :D They both look so sweet. Good boys! :)
