First Beach Trip

At the Beach!

Jake and I took Zaire to the beach for her first time! 

We walked close to the water and when a wave came close, Zaire quickly ran away from the water, not liking that she got her paws wet. :-) 

We had a nice long walk and met a few other friendly dogs. 

Our trip was a success!

2nd Bath - October 29th

Zaire's second bath was more successful than the first! I enlisted the help of my boyfriend. I got in the bath with Zaire to hold and comfort her while he poured the water and rinsed her.

Zaire freaked out again with the water, but I was able to hold her and make her feel safe. She calmed down a little, but still doesn't like the water.

This time we were able to get her clean and rinsed properly!  

Here's hoping Bath #3 will be better. 

Tip - 4 hands is better than 2 when giving a puppy a bath! 

Zaire's First Bath - October 1st

Wet Puppy!

My first attempt in trying to give Zaire her first bath was unsuccessful. The bath tub stopper wouldn't close, so the tub wouldn't hold any water for a bath.

As soon as I turned on the water to get Zaire wet, she freaked out. I managed to get a little shampoo on her and rinse it off. She was not happy with mom and decided that since I made her get wet, she was going to make sure I was soaked. 

Zaire had more fun drying off and playing in the towels.

Playing in the towels!
