I learned when we had our pug that they have to have their anal glands squeezed (YUCK!). <br /><br />I would wash and wash Trygve and could never get him to not stink. Finally we took him to a groomer and they said he needed that. Once we started getting that done regularly, he stopped smelling so much. I also think they had some sort of magic shampoo that made him smell nice. <br /><br />We took him about every 2 months. If I tried to wash him at home, no matter what I used, he just ended up smelling like stinky, <i>wet</i> dog. He always came from the groomer smelling nice.<br /><br />It was worth every penny! :)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975764579644345798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326946447594640287.post-71688287686634540862010-01-12T10:12:48.941-06:002010-01-12T10:12:48.941-06:00Oh, Heidi, that's hilarious!

Honestly I think Trygve was brain damaged! :)<br /><br />And, interestingly enough, we did end up with a dog (I'm about to post about that) but not Glitter. That's why I really want to find Glitter a home!<br /><br />Becca - wish you were ready now! I'd go get Glitter for ya! The one thing I did learn at the SPCA was that St. Bernard's are small tanks and having a puppy would make me loose my mind! There were many, many, many little yappy puppies!<br /><br />We did see one beautiful chocolate lab, but she was BIG! They are such a beautiful color.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975764579644345798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326946447594640287.post-21248729278297358372010-01-12T07:05:09.536-06:002010-01-12T07:05:09.536-06:00Oh, Tricia, Glitter is a sweetie!

She resembles my parents' dog (though Katie is all black) - she's a border collie mix and just THE BEST dog ever!<br /><br />We are not dog people either - I love dogs but they never seem to work out around here. However, in the fall, my hubby had one of those momentary lapses that you mentioned and we now have - guess what? A pug! Ours is a female, and doesn't seem to do any of those obnoxious things you mentioned (well, maybe snort) - she's actually pretty good, except that she stinks.

I end up in tears every time I go to one! We will be getting another dog sometime this spring (after after after we are settled in!) but I just dread the process! We will only get a dog from a pound, but the problem is having to go there to get it :-)JasonBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710495434468224077noreply@blogger.com
