Dog and bath

I'm sure you all are dying to hear about Jager's bath last night. Well, it didn't happen. Mom talked with one of the parents at school, who happens to be a dog trainer, and she said not to wash him, as it would be bad for the puppy. The smell that is coming off the dog is the natural oils that the dog produces in order to keep his coat healthy and such. Other than that, we have to, more than likely, go out and get new puppy shampoo and cream rinse. The trainer suggested that we do this after hearing about the shampoo my parents used on him the first ttime. We'll see what happens.

Jäger smells

Yesterday getting back from work, I did my typical pick Jäger up and hold him in my arms and scratch his stomach and chest. My god the dog smelled horrible. I mean his scent was on my hands for the rest of the evening. I couldn't help but want to dunk him in some soapy water and wash the smell off of him. We're going to give him a bath tonight, his second one. This is going to be entertaining as, from what I heard from my parents giving him a bath, it is a bit of a challenge.


On a side note, father claimed that Jäger has fleas. He described the event of him pulling off something small from his fur, and then it, presumably a flea, jumped off of his hand and onto the ground. I was amazed that there would still be fleas outside, seeing as it is so cold. And in a revelation of facts on the flea collar, I believe that the flea collar took care of the whole dog's body. Not the case, as it only protects the dog's neck.
