Pat, If it is any conmsolation, I just took Toto in for her first time bath at the groomers because she needed to get her nails cut and i don't like to do that. I warned the groomers that she was a shelter dog and that I had no idea what she was going to do and that if she got violent maybe they could use a muzzle? (I dont like this idea but i thought it was better to warn them up front!)
I felt so bad when i left her as I figured that she probably thought that i was turning her back in to the rescue and that she would be so sad.... When we came back 3 hours later after the bath, they all told me what a sweetheart toto was and that she had had a really good time... ! So go figure. I think that your chi will do just fine. Take care Eileen Roberts
