Title: Dust Baths
Post by: jbcstratton on August 27, 2010, 04:41:56 AM

I find that my pink white always looks *dirtier* than my other chin colors, even when they get dust baths at the same time, wondering if others find that as well.  Just out of curiosity.

I do not have a pink white but I do have a mosaic and she always before, after and during a dust bath looks whiter than ever...Her tail has a touch of gray and she looks like she has a goatee (SP?) that is gray but that is her color. Hmmm..will be ineteresting to see what others say! ::silly:: ::shrug::

two mosaics here..

no one ever looks dirty...  just greasy... until bath time [well i mean they aren't always greasy, only if i wait to long for a dustbath.. bad mommy]... then its fun time!

That is what I mean by "dirty" is greasy looking.  I have 2 mosiacs and I don't think they get that way that fast, maybe some chins like people are oilier???  I just wondered what other thought.  Thanks!!

oh okay.. duh!!! :doh:

my other two are grays, and if i wait on them too, they look a bit greasy too... [oh i feel so bad, i dont' mean to sound like i purposely make them wait, sometimes i just forget when their last dust bath was.. and then boom.. grease city..]
