TAIL POCKET 100%

 

[Ftse 100]

FTSE is fine with everything except his ears when he sees me holding the bottle he runs and hides and he is not too jean on abate but nothing like his ears

 

[JennieS]

With Ruthie its her ears and folds, I can't keep them clean enough. We are on the way to the vet this morning for another ear infection She's really good about me cleaning them though.

With the other Monster, Brutus...it's his tail pocket....ugh that thing. I guess i don't even need to say anymore.

Nose rope wrinkle - on and off it gets sore in there and I apply diaper rash cream but the little monster moves so that some of the ointment ends up on his nose instead.

Im laughing at the ones with ear issues. The way you guys explained it made me laugh.

I can't say much about Nyala. She loves being washed, cutting her nails, washing ears, loves the hair dryer like there's no tomorrow.... she must of been in her previous life a pampered diva.

Maybe the only thing is she will tests me. I'll say "come on Nyala lets go in" she looks at you like Yeah Right! Little hard head piglet. Hard for me as im use to have dogs do what you ask on first command. Miss Muffet here looks at you, stands up still looking at you and goes the other way. Im laughing while im typing this. Now when I raise my voice which I hate but say" Nyala....come here NOW!" Ooooooh, i see some jogging coming towards the door. Lolllll

ELMO'S WRINKLES, HE DOESN'T MIND ME CLEANING HIS NOSE ROPE, OR THE WRINKLES ON HIS FACE, BUT NO WAY WILL HE ALLOW ME TO CUT HIS TOENAILS, ELMO SAYS THAT IS A NO NO. HIS EARS HE DOESN'T LIKE ME TO CLEAN THEM, BUT I DO ANYWAY.

I,m good nothing really , Rosie has found a bath buddy in Nelli tho , Rosie was not a huge fan of baths made her very nervous mostly the in and out process, now that I have Nelli in the group she insists right off the bat to be in the bathroom when Rosie gets her bath and the last one she wanted in also so why not i say lol get two dogs with one stone i say lol

With Monty, it's his eyes. He has to have drops twice a day (forever) and I never knew it was possible to scrunch your eyes up that tightly and all the while moving your head from side to side and up and down! Ugh! To make it worse, the drops are thick and takes a while to drip so he ends up wearing them before I can ever get the one drop in each eye. He is good about everything else thank goodness.

Tate's NOSE ROPE always seems to be a deposit for lots of interesting dust particles. He's such a sweetie though when I clean it out, and a good sport, letting me dig deep inside there.

 

[Manydogs]

Nail trimming. First dogs I've ever had that I can not trim their nails myself. Very embarrassing to have to go to vet to cut nail!

 

[ChrisRN]

For Mabel it is the occasional eye drops (she gets frequent infections) and her hyperkeratotic nose. My kids never squeezed their eyes shut so tightly. The nose is a constant chore, to keep it soft and somewhat smooth.

 

[Frith]

Brushing the teeth. It grosses me out. I can't even watch actors on TV brush their teeth. I have to position the toothbrush, and then close my eyes and try not to gag. Give me a thousand bums to wipe over one tooth brushing.

 

[penguinspam]

I hate giving Betty a bath, it's not that hard to do, but she just looks so sad. We clean her ears at the same time which she absolutely hates. We had to give her a bath with her medicated shampoo today and she wouldn't look either me or the mister in the face for like 30 minutes afterwards, treats have seemed to make up for it though!

 

[ddnene]

I'm SUPER allergic to wet doggie hair, so I really shouldn't bathe them… it's kinda hard to do w/gloves on as well. So if they really get dirty, I try to do a baby wipe bath… Lol

 

[CCandMurray]

Bathing Murray is quite an ordeal, involving me getting a bath in the process, as well as the bathroom floor nearly flooding lol. He also hates having his teeth brushed, if I have the toothbrush forget it so I just slab it on my finger and get the little bugger on his back and try to do it as thoroughly and quickly as possible!
