ginger's first bath

May 31, 2010


We want Ginger to get used to water so we're trying to give her bi-monthly baths. She was so confused when we put her in the water. She stood really still at first and then started whimpering and tried to climb out. It wasn't that bad once we put on the shampoo, which smelled amazing by the way. It had a very herbal smell like rosemary that was so relaxing. I almost wish I could put it in my hair!

Ginger is getting cuter and bigger every day! When we got her she weighed almost 7lbs and now she weighs a little over 8! I'm so curious to see how big she'll get and what she'll look like!

I hope you all are having a relaxing Memorial Day!

  2. Aw, how cute! Monte isn't a huge fan of baths but luckily we get him groomed so we don't bathe him too often. Still, it's not a fun situation, hehe.

  7. So sweet. Love her in towel, she looks so tiny!

    Whenever I give my dogs a bath, the big dog always helps me dry the little dog. It is pretty cute.

  10. I loveee wet puppies! They're so cute! I also tried to get Abby (my golden) used to different things when she was little. I'd pet her and hold her while she ate, especially her head and nose, so she'd be used to it and wouldn't snap at anyone who tried to touch her while she was eating.

  15. This reminds me of Nix's first bath :) He just kind of stood there looking terrified the whole time. So adorable!

    How old is Ginger now? If she's around 8-ish weeks and she's 8-ish lbs, she'll probably top out at about 40-50 lbs. Nix was 11 lbs. at six weeks and he's now a 60 lb. beast :)

  33. Aaaah, Ginger is gorgeous!Puppies do grow up so fast. Seems like just a few months ago my border collie was a tiny pup. She's four years old now though, so I guess it's been longer than that...

  50. Dogs are so picky about water. We have one that loves to go swimming and we have one that loves it about half the time! I bet giving Ginger baths regularly will help with that, though! xo

    ReplyDelete

  51. oh my goodness, sooooo sweet! we are getting our first puppy in just three weeks. i cannot wait! xo!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Oh my goodness, Mara! I want to take her home with me. She's the cutest thing ever!!! It must be so fun having a brand new puppy of your own. I want one!

  55. She is such a little doll. I love the look on her face when you and your mom are toweling her off!

    ReplyDelete

  56. Aw, Ginger is too cute!
    These pictures make me wish I had a puppy around...and then I remember what that is like. Ha ha. Do you get much sleep or do you have to wake up to let Ginger out a lot?
    This is very cute!

    ReplyDelete

  58. Why must Ginger be the cutest thing ever?! Honestly, every single time I see her I want to give her a cuddle and a big kiss - love! :)

    ReplyDelete

  62. I just adore your puppy, she is SO cute. Seriously, It makes me want a puppy so badly! That's a good idea to start them on baths when they are young like that so they won't hate them.

    ReplyDelete

  63. Aw, so so sweet! I love when dogs are good for baths! I definitely wish we had given Sabey more when he was a pup! He hates them, but loveloveloves to swim! Strange little pup!

  65. Puppies grow up WayyyYY too fast! Homie got his second (much needed after a weekend of camping) bath last night and he was NOT impressed. It's crazy how fast they grow. He was just 8 lbs when we got him and is pushing 20 just 1 month later!! CRAZY! Ginger is so darling though, I bet she will be a GREAT water dog :)

    ReplyDelete

  66. ooohohhh puppy photos! so so so exciting! your dog already weighs more than mine.. lol and mines 3! hahahah i definitely want a big dog!.. ginger is sooo cute!

    ReplyDelete

  67. That sweet little puppy is so adorable. Definitely a smart idea to get her use to baths now while she's little. Still so jealous.

  75. that is way too cute for words!

    ReplyDelete

  76. SO sweet, these photos! our yellow lab loves the water so much we let her play in the sprinkler every day (not to mention the 100+ degrees outside!) maybe ginger will grow to love it too!?

    ReplyDelete

  77. So cute! I don't have a dog, but most older dogs I know love water. I have a cat - needless to say, she hates water, haha.
