Astrid was a 4-month-old Pittie who joined the Love Wags A Tail board-and-train program to learn basic puppy manners. At one point, she needed a bath, and I quickly found out that she was “allergic” to water. She fought me every step of the way during the bathing process. I couldn’t imagine what the next 10-plus years would be like for the owners of this precious pup every time they wanted to bathe her. As many people know, Pitties are {Read More}
