Hi Josie. You are lucky that Chloe doesn't mind baths. Chinook cannot stand water! I need to call for help to bathe him, but he lets me trim his nails, thankfully. He even lets me use a dremel to file them. I wish he would like water, but no such luck. When he was about 12 weeks old, we went to the beach. At first he did not know what to make of the waves. He barked then slowly approached. He then got brave enough to get his feet wet. He walked along the shore line until it dropped off and he fell in! It was so funny watching him. He swam to shore, all you can see is the whites in his eyes, and then he ran into the sand and tall grass and proceeded to roll around, and around! It was hilarious. I posted those pictures on this forum somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.
