Bath Time for Erik

 Good morning,

Catherine sent me this snap shot of Erik getting a bath at the groomer's.  They are at a friend's home and the friend happens to be a dog groomer.  

Usually, Catherine gives our pups baths in a bathtub here at home, but he's 80 pounds and at 14 years old is not as agile as he used to be. Bending over the bath tub to wash the big guy isn't easy, either.  The groomer has a separate area with the right height facilities to give Mr. Erik a bath with the least stress for all involved.  Erik is a very gentle, good boy, so he doesn't object to being bathed.

Labs have very heavy coats that generally shed twice a year.  At home we do most brushing out on the patio which works well for all of us and the house.  Labs generally don't need baths unless they have been into muddy or salty water. It was time for Erik....  

Erik came home all fluffy and clean.  So cute!

 Happy Summer!
