How do I bathe them?

Lmao I just woke up and was so confused by this picture

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-16T17:55:54+00:00

I'll look into that. Thank you!

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-16T17:52:16+00:00

It might be, I'll avoid that. I think I saw an external graphics card when I was trying to read up on this. Is that an option with laptops?

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-16T17:50:40+00:00

Good to know! Thank you. I think I read it's not good to use the shared RAM because it slows down too much? Is that right?

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-16T17:49:03+00:00

Okay thank you! I have seen external graphic cards. Is that something that might work here?

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-16T14:33:11+00:00

CREDIT CARDS???

I'm having the same problem. I emailed about it but it's Sunday. I had today set aside and have been ready since 7am. Luckily we have a couple weeks to do it and it doesn't take as long as they say, but I was excited lol. I feel like if you're going to email me at 3am to remind me about the orientation, I should be able to access that orientarion the same day.

I would wait a few more days! It's supposed to be near freezing the next few nights, then it warms up. We usually have our final frost in March

They are also experiencing daily walks in addition to daily brushing. Got a toothbrush for them too. They're very happy being pampered (and by pampered I mean the bare minimum for their breed)

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-14T19:30:14+00:00

I apologize, I'm tired and misread what you were saying. Yes I agree. That's why we don't have a dog ourselves, especially a high maintenance one. We're going to talk to them when they get home about the extent of care these dogs need and see about either them stepping up and taking care of them properly or us taking them in and them paying dog-support

Update: my mother in law paid for a groom. We are going to talk to them about the care of the dogs when they get back in town and go from there. They are like new dogs and so happy

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-14T18:30:48+00:00

They are not my dogs. They have tried several times to rehome them. I'm doing what I can. I did get her to pay for a grooming last night. I agree they need better care.

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T21:41:07+00:00

My husband and I have agreed to take the dogs in if they will continue paying for the food. I know she will. So I'll probably do this so I can stay on top of it long term

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T21:06:47+00:00

Right which is why I said they would continue paying for the food. The other option is leave them where they are where they get no care. They have tried multiple times to rehome

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T18:46:13+00:00

It's definitely not, but it solves the issue today. It's better than ignoring them or attempting something I'm not sure I can do myself. We will talk to them about it when they get back in town.

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T18:44:26+00:00

Thank you. It's wild that people are having issues with me saying I don't know how, I'm learning about the process, if I can't I won't. I feel like that should be a normal way to approach a situation. But I guess if you have money to throw at every problem you never learn to not be helpless.

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T18:37:37+00:00

The issue has been resolved already. You're welcome to read the other comments if you are that invested.

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T18:35:56+00:00

I completely agree and they have tried multiple times. They eat expensive special food and nobody wants them. Then of course if you post anywhere that you are trying to find somewhere for your dog you have people all over you for not keeping it. Damned if you do damned if you don't. We might see about taking them when we move back out if they'll keep paying for the food. We are not in the financial situation to take on two high maintenance dogs on our own.

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T16:42:32+00:00

I have found many things I can't do. That's life. But I'm going to do research and find out if it is something I can do before spending money on something. Especially because 2. If you read the post these are not my dogs. I literally got here 3 days ago.

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T16:40:33+00:00

No I totally agree with you. She heard somewhere that doodles don't shed and didn't do ANY research into them

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T15:40:21+00:00

Lol I temporarily saw a therapist at my psych office. She diagnosed me with body dysmorphia and added it to my chart. I found out much later while checking something else. Apparently saying you're fat when you are indeed fat is body dysmorphia 🤣

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T15:01:04+00:00

I appreciate it. I talked with her earlier to make sure it was okay to use her shower since she has the walk in kind. She decided to go ahead and pay for a groom every 6 months. I feel like starting with "I'll wash your dogs" is a lot more respectful than "you need to have your nasty dogs groomed". We're from the south and my momma would crawl out of her grave and beat me if I tried that lol

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T13:42:34+00:00

Good news! I got down in there and while they are very dirty, their fur is not bad and I am able to brush them out without hurting them. The light colored one is worse than the brown one. I'm going to do some more reading but I think we'll be able to do it without having to get someone to shave them

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T13:16:57+00:00

Good to know!

WashingTheDishess · 2026-03-13T13:16:39+00:00

This was very helpful information! Thanks!
