Stinky pup = Bath time!

We've read a lot of forums/blog posts on how often you should bathe your shiba which is what we were following due to their nice special coat. Some say every 3-5 months and some said twice a year.. we were just going to give him a bath whenever we felt he needed it. And the fact that we groom him constantly so his coat is still nice and shiny. We also wipe him down every time he goes in and out of the house esp during puppy play. The last time we gave Kobi a bath was back in Sept.. :/ He had a rash under his arms so we had to give him a bath with the medicated shampoo every other day.. took awhile but he was still not loving the water.

Plus we live in Seattle... it rains 24/7 and thankfully for us Kobi doesn't mind the rain. :)

Well over this past weekend Kobi got himself a pleasant surprise during his daily walk. A bird pooped on him. Yep.. right on his neck... he shook it all off by the time he got home but still not enough to be 'clean'. So we made the ultimate decision to bathe him.

Oatmeal tearless shampoo for puppies!




scrub..scrub..scrub..



What is going on back there...??





Hanging on for dear life..





Kobi is here wondering what just happened to him and why he's all wet..




sleep time for Kobi.. he's exhausted after putting up a fight during his bath. :P


Surprisingly he didn't shiba scream during the entire bath which is good but he did do a few whines/cries.. such a big baby!
