Dog Shampoo

I remember the sweet, 'new puppy' smell of Teddy Bear Hugo. He was the most adorable pup in the world and stole my heart.



Hugo is my best friend and I would be lost without him, but sometimes I wish he would just GET LOST! He loves to go down to the beach, dig in the mud, rocks and even the salt water to find oysters and clams. He carries them up to the grass, chews until he cracks the shells apart then slurps up the yummy, RAW, 'delicacy'. I prefer mine with no bits of shell, washed with clean fresh water, battered, breaded and fried beyond recognition!

Does your dog stink beyond belief? I have to tell you Hugo does, and he hates bathtime. Since bathtime is a daily chore with Hugo when we're at Egmont I worry about his skin getting dry and itchy and hate to use a dog shampoo that doesn't wash out easily. I don't think dogs were meant to be sweet smelling all the time, but since he sleeps with me I don't want that dirty, wet dog smell in my bed!

An all natural dog shampoo 'Dogosuds' ® made by Dinovite sounds ideal to me to keep Hugo clean and to keep his skin and coat healthy.

Here are the benefits of 'Dogosuds':

• Makes your dog smell CLEAN and WONDERFUL for a long time.
• Lathers beautifully ... and RINSES EASILY!
• Contains 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties
• Gentle soothing shampoo works well for sensitive skin.
• Is a NATURAL FLEA DETERRENT
• Contains NO CHEMICALS, NO PERFUMES, NO FILLERS, nothing to irritate or dry your dog's skin!
• Also works great to remove SKUNK odor!

I had to laugh at the last benefit. We do have skunks around Egmont and I'd hate to have Hugo run into one of those! He'd definitely not be sleeping with me if he smelled skunky!

Super Chameleon!

BUTTONS: The New Toilet Cleaner

Hugo Says, "This is simply too much of a time saver not to share".

1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up Buttons, the cat and soothe her while you carry her to the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put Buttons in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. Buttons will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, Buttons is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and 'rinse'.

6. Have some one open the front door of your home. Be sure there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift the lid.

8. Buttons will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom and run outside where she will dry herself off.

9. Both the toilet and Buttons will be sparkling clean.
