Carter's First Bath

So after having Carter for about a week, we had to take him back to the Abandoned Pet Rescue for a few shots. I love that they provide all of that free of cost. They really love their animals and want them to have amazing homes :D Anyway, so it had been a week since he had been neutered so we had to take him to have that checked out and get a booster shot. We got him in the car and drove to Ft. Lauderdale. He doesnt like the car as much as I thought he would. He doesnt like it moving. lol. He ended sleeping most of the way. YAY! When we got there he was so excited to be back. haha. We weighed him and he weighed about 20lbs.- He gained about 4lbs in 1 week!! Apparently that is normal though. I was worried at first that we were over feeding him. haha. He got his shots (he didnt even notice he got one) and since he had been scratching A LOT, we asked the vet about him. She checked him for fleas and he didnt have any (whew!). She did find that he had some sort of rash. The type he had comes from living in a rescue type place and stepping and sleeping in poop. She gave us some medicine for him to take that would help. She ended up seeing him scratching and biting himself and we think it may be a food allergy. She told us to keep using the food we bought and see if an allergy develops- so that's what we are doing. After that,we got the okay to give him a bath! YES! I love my puppy dearly, but he started to stink! We had to wait until the next day to give him a bath, but we did so as early as we could! haha. He did NOT like the bath. Again, I think he didnt like the water coming at him from the water hose. So for the next bath we used a tub and he did much better. We ended up washing him twice because that's what the bottle told us to do. He got us covered in soap and water! haha :D My sweet puppy all wet! haha John getting ready to hold him while I washed him for the second time.

Getting scrubbed down!

He smelled like vanilla after he dried! LOVE HIM!
