Yes, it's a small bottle - and used at a very polite distance.  Smiley

Cheers,

Julie, Sophie's only problem after having her for 10 years, is she HATES water! If I spritz her, or attempt to shower her.... she won't go for it! She sits on the bathroom floor while all other birds shower! She says "NO THANKS!" My trimmer told her she was "stinky!" She got very offended and told me the next few days "I am Not stinky!"I'm sure, she just didn't like the tone of his voice, as opposed to really understanding!(I think!) I have tried to have the kids shower with her, as she loves them! I hear.... ROM...ROM... come quick! I told them to stop trying. It is to traumatic for her. She is going for a trim in September. Paul, my groomer plans on giving her a bath, no matter what! I will be there to comfort her, in the end! Poor Sophie!   Nancy

Nancy, naive as I am, I suspect that if they *really* don't like water then they *really* don't want to shower.  Huh

My boy, Jeremy, says, "I'm naughty," even though he's never heard that actual phrase. He has, however, heard, "Your naughty," and "Jeremy's naughty", but the phrase, 'I'm naughty' is entirely of his own making. Thus I think we may deduce that they have a good grasp of the language and the world that surrounds them. Hence if they say they don't want a shower then I think we can safely deduce that they, er, don't want a shower  . . . . . or something.  Grin

Cheers,
Julie

Bellino...watch and see! Sophie IS going to bathe in September with my groomer! I get a kick at seeing under "attitude", they are all listed as excellent!(yeah right!) I guess it is the same thing, as sending your kids to dinner at a friends house! You only can judge, when you here positive compliments back, how helpful they are!(of course I here this back about my children, just not sure what children we are talking about!) LOL   Nancy M

Do you mist Bellino instead, Debbie?  Smiley
