Ok, so I am going to find some waterless shampoo [somewhere]
Ask the groomer to trim the wick a bit [they both are bathed every ten days]
use baby wipes after every pee

and I am going to find a nice wide harness.

Thank you everyone for the good hints!![/B]

I'd love to see new pics of Lilly!!

Will do this weekend. We just came back from visiting family in Key largo. Lilly had a blast playing with my sisters two dogs. I think she was a little disappointed to return back home. Pictures this weekend, check!

Sometimes they have a bad one that requires the "hosing off" treatment,we use the hand sprayer in the sink in our building.
Ususally doesn't take much to keep them fresh and clean,figure we wipe afterwards,shouldn't they? And I have 5 little bums to wipe each day... We just keep a towel by the door,so it's a quick easy task.[/B]

That sounds like a good system. What spray shampoo do you purchase? Is that the same as waterless?? Thanks for the info

Miracle Coat foaming shampoo is what I use,you can get it at Petco,sure other places would have it too. I haven't tried Furminator ,a friend of mine uses it on her cocker,but think the name is cute.

Lucy's back skirt is banded, we call it the 'tock tails. It keeps the urine from getting on the back skirt but it has to be changed every day and brushed out, other wise there will be matting. I use a waterless shampoo but not every day.

OH MY LORD, I'm so new at this full coat stuff. Poor Sophie, what a mess. I've ordered waterless shampoo and have an emergency call into my groomer to see if I can get her in for a back side trim. I thought I was doing pretty good at keeping her brushed and top knot in every day but the pee is definitely a problem.

Didn't think of baby wipes, will pick some upl
