Get a bath, rub yourself right into that grass. Who wants the smell of shampoo and conditioner on me?
I just love it.
Well, at least I know there aren't any tangles.
What does your Havanese do after a bath?

I guess I'll find out this weekend. Sophie is about to get her first!
Well, Katie loves to do the "CRAZY DOG!" thing. She runs up the basement stairs and then rubs herself on the couch, bed, carpets and anything else that will sop up some of the water. When I get the towel and drier on the bathroom counter, she comes and stands at the counter so I can lift her up and dry her. After I get her hair dry and out of her eyes, she loves to rub her head on the carpet to loosen or break the pony tail band. No wonder she always has hair in her eyes.
Yeah, that's the crazy dawg after wet scenario. I LOVE it. It's worth the price of admission to put them on the floor after a bath just to see it. But you can't leave it that way or you will get tangles. At a young age I just make sure all knots are out before washing, I brush thoroughly and use the comb to find any I miss and pull them apart and brush out. Then I just let the blowers do their magic. But I have two blowers coming at them in 2 directions so it's quicker. If it wouldn't overload the circuit, I would do 3 at once but that's silly but I have done it before with an extension cord going halfway around the house. Buy bathing tethers if they give you a hard time and try to jump out. I use them even on adults that have visitied if they have not beem conditioned to bathing. They work and free up your hands. I really like the one I have as its simply a suction cup with a loop and I can use a noose that one uses on a grooming table to go around their necks but there are other options too that may work for you. Mine goes for any size dog and it can be placed anywhere in the sink.
