There's a Mutt in the Laundry Room!

Woohoo, glad to hear that Roxy's inside! You could get those bath wipes - they might help until you can give her a bath Good luck!

You can always just use handsoap and scrub all over her and then just get a new towel, wet it, and wipe off. Then go buy some doggy perfume.

If your Mom can't stand the smell, how can she think Roxy likes being stinky either? lol

You should try dog deodrant or cologne that will mask the doggy smell

You can buy pet wipes at Walmart. They have aloe in them, they smell really good. I think I paid around $4.00 for them. Maybe your mom would let you get some of those?

atleast she's getting a little bit of a break from the backyard. i wouldn't give up trying to bring her in the house! if you just keep at it maybe your mum will change her mind. my parents changed their minds about Great Danes when they went to a dog show with me and met some. now they say they can't live without one!

Well that's a conudrum then, Roxy wouldn't stink if she let her have a bath, but she doesn't want a stinky dog in the bathroom, only way to stop the stink is a bath....Next time you do something good to earn a reward for yourself, like you did with the photoshop program, try to barter with your mom for a bath for Roxy instead, it's cheaper than a program anyway! Then she won't be so stinky and maybe your mom will have less objection to her.

Hah. Report cards are coming up soon. I'm going to tell my mom I want $50 then I'm going to buy things for Roxy so I can give her a bath!

[My Peanuts]

It's a start and that's great!

I'm sorry your mom doesn't understand Roxy needs. It must be frustrating for you. My family is just like me, but I can imagine it's very hard. Seems like your mom is boxing you in a bit to me. If Roxy smells, then the only way to fix it is a bath, which she won’t let you do. I'm sorry.
