when i first got beefy he was terrified of a bath too, but i tried letting him in the bathroom while i was in the shower/bath afew times, and at first he acted like he was scared to death that i was in there, but one day he decided he was comming in with me! now the only way for me to get him to take a bath without alot of hassle is to bring him in the shower with me. he sits in the back of the shower and watches me until its his turn.
with phoebe, she doesn't like a bath no matter what, but she's easiest to wash in the sink, without running water. i use a cup insead of the sprayer to rinse her off, and she insists on keeping her fron paws on the edge of the sink so she looks like she's ready to bolt on out at the first sign of trouble, lol, but she never does. one time i wasn't thinking right, and out of habit i pulled the stopper out while she was still in there, and the thought of the water going down the drain really seemed to upset her, so now i always take her out, dry her off and give her a treat, and then go back to let the water out.
