They truly keep on giving. I just gave Linus a spontaneous bath because he rolled in a dead animal at the dog park today, and was able to quickly search and reference these (particularly the drying one) and they were a huge help. <br /><br />THANK YOU!!Dances with Corgishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116855540826963649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-87814647033800505192009-05-08T20:20:00.000-04:002009-05-08T20:20:00.000-04:00I enjoyed reading your post.

I've always let my girls 'air dry', not knowing any different! It does take a long time for them to dry that way - VERY long!ClassyChassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645241442596037812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-4393052312531537852009-05-07T23:14:00.000-04:002009-05-07T23:14:00.000-04:00I read this post and was in awe at the work it tak...I read this post and was in awe at the work it takes to achieve that beautiful Corgi coat! To think, when we had our Golden Retriever, I would put him in a huge tub, wet him down and lather him up and scrub, scrub, scrub--then rinse him off! If I was lucky, I'd get him in the garage (cuz we only did the tub and hose technique when the weather was warm and we could do it OUTDOORS!)before he headed to the corner of the yard, where the dirt pile was, and start to roll in it!! He pretty much air dried! :( He didn't look pretty, but he didn't smell!) Seriously, I know it takes a whole lot of work to achieve that "show dog" look--and it is so worth it!! However, I really do appreciate my kitty cats--they give themselves their own little baths! ;)<br /><br />Hope you've had a great week!

Anna...I may just have to take a ride up to one of your farmer's market's in Vermont. I'm sure the Corgis will bring a smile to everyone...bath or no bath!Cathy Santarsiero, "The Christmas Corgi"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16049165329630322893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-53504193521069689842009-05-07T16:10:00.000-04:002009-05-07T16:10:00.000-04:00In less than 10% humidity Idaho a dog dried very q...In less than 10% humidity Idaho a dog dried very quickly. I am getting the feeling from your post it might take a wee bit longer here *g* <br /><br />My girls are a bit on the grungy side right now, not filthy but a full on bath and groom is definitely needed before we hit farmer's market season and they meet their "people". <br /><br />These posts are wonderful and we here at Corgi Hill Farm very much appreciate your time doing them.Anna Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771185484339023184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-1636194863315375662009-05-07T13:40:00.000-04:002009-05-07T13:40:00.000-04:00The first time I turned the blow dryer on Kailyn f...The first time I turned the blow dryer on Kailyn freaked out a bit. I just left it on low sitting on the floor and brushed her out until dry (she was just a pup and didn't have much fur) The next time I used it a little on her, now she just falls asleep while I dry her.. Cathy, I am so glad I discovered your blog, your posts on grooming have come at just the right time for this new to Corgi owner. I see you are going to do a post on what goes into your dog, we are feeding Kailyn Solid Gold Hunderfloken puppy and it is wonderful food. I don't have a blog(I's on my to do list), but I do have a page on mycorgi.com here is a link if you want to see some pictures of Kailyn. http://mycorgi.com/profile/KarenDimaio<br />Thanks again for all the wonderful information!!!Karen Dimaio (in Maryland)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-36831345402858924422009-05-07T09:27:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:27:00.000-04:00I don't have a Corgi - I have a Beagle right now -...I don't have a Corgi - I have a Beagle right now - do Corgi's like baths and hair dryers?
