I am going to order a new harness off amazon for leila and am looking at the tropiclean line of shampoos on there.
There is a papaya 2 in 1 for $6.65 for 20 oz. And other scents for diff. prices.
Those of you that use tropiclean what scent do you think is best?? I think she has somewhat dry skin , but only after baths..so gotta keep that in mind.

Thanks!

We have the papaya spray because the scent is great. The people in the store recommended the "puppy" shampoo to me over the others because they said it was more gentle, but I cant really compare as Ive only tried the one. I really like Earthbath's Mango Tango, I think it would work well for Leila too as its also conditioning which would give her a boost of moisture. Love the scent too!

You can basically slather Leila in coconut oil for 20-30 min before a bath. That probably will help with any dryness she's experiencing.

(but extra virgin coconut oil made fr the meat of the coconuts...melt/warm the oil, slather and massage in, wrap leila in saran wrap (not her head obviously!), and wait for a good bit.)

LOL idk, that just seems to be her nickname. That's what hubby always called her. And cutsey things don't fit her really, she is so diabolical :-p She was twice the size she is now when I met hubby LOL so I get why he called her that.

I'm gonna give B his coconut oil wrap this weekend...will take pics
