puppy toys

Luigi loves his milk bottle. It is one of his favourite puppy toys. He has got the top off but it was dangerous for him to have so we take them off now. At one point we put his bottle in a sock. He liked that but was very happy when we took it out. He can bite and carry the bottle. We change the bottle when it has lots of bite marks.

puppy care tips

Puppy Care Tips - how to bath your coton de tulear.

To day we bathed Luigi because he was messy. First we got a cup and poured water over him. But do NOT pour water over his or her head. Next get some shampoo and rub it into the fur until it is all soapy. And then rinse out the soap.

When we lift Luigi out we have to rinse out his paws. Lots of fur and water make one heavy dog. Next we dry him. This takes a lot of time, but if you do it well you will not have to use the hairdryer on your dog. When we had dried him he was still wet so we used the hairdryer on him but he thought it was a game and barked at it when we blew hot air at him.
