Emani and Milo take a shower!

Well, we finally got Emani into the shower and it wasn't so bad. He was a little skittish but stayed in for about 2 min.
Milo, our Alexandrine was in absolute ecstacy!!!

I love the bath pictures. Bing, my CAG, is in the shower with me the whole time but out of the direct line of spray. Then I pick him up and let him shower a bit. He allows it enough to get wet but not for too long. Some days he seems to like it better than others.

Dave gets the same treatment but seems to like it less and less.

LOL tried to put Mr. in the shower with hubby... yea didn't go well. Mr. freaked out and started screaming so I put him on his play stand and sprayed him he was happy with that. I want to try the bath tub and a rubber ducky or something LOL.

Oh great photos! What a sweetie he is!

Didn't he fly away? I'm sure Mojo and Shinda would!

I really must buy one of those shower perches, I'm just concerned it would slide off!

Hi Pippy,
We have the perch really low in the shower just in case he got scared and flew off. He was actually much more accepting of it than I thought he would be. It has 3 great big suction cups on the end of it and it's pretty secure.

My shower stall has a seat in it. I purchased a suction cup acrylic wash cloth holder and wrapped it in vet wrap for traction. I place it on the seat (its not vertical so no worries about it falling or sliding) and the suction cups keep it secure. Simon sits on it and I can aim the shower water at him or he can just get misted. Sometimes he comes in with me and I do like Tom and hold him up in the spray. Sometimes I just put him in there and turn the water on and then direct the spray in his direction. He doesn't mind and it works really well to get him good and wet. He likes it better than the spray bottle. Georgia doesn't like it at all. She's a spray bottle and sink girl.
