Impatiently waiting

After putting it off forever, we've finally purchased a forced air dryer. It takes two of us to keep Aesop on the grooming table at the dog wash, and with our conflicting schedules it's hard to find a time where both of us can go. So, he ends up getting pretty gross before we can get him bathed. And bathing without blowing his coat out is just a no no Stick out tongue It should be here Monday Smile With a house full of hairy dogs, it's just something we need to have around.

Great! What time can you pick Willow up at the airport??? Big Smile

Seriously, what kind did you get? I've been mulling the idea of getting one over for the past couple of weeks myself.

I went with a Metro Command-something that was 4 hp. Stick out tongue Not horridly expensive, and I think it will do fine for our crew of fuzzy dogs Smile

Let me know how you like using it. If you like it I'll look into that one too. Smile

It didn't get here today, sadly. Should be here tomorrow, if the tracking deal is correct. (says it's in Phoenix) Smile

Not hard to use at all. And the drying time was the same as when I go to the dog wash and use their dryer Smile

Two dogs bathed so far in a week...which has to be a record Stick out tongue Grimm and Jules both had baths in the last few weeks, so out of kindness I'm controlling myself....although I do want to know what a dryer dried Grimmy looks like. He has the oddest coat texture. (although essentially nonshedding, so that's not a bad thing)

Ginger was dried in 5 minutes, yay for teeny dogs.
