Jenn:  The lanolin makes sense for coat shine.  In my last life I owned and showed an AKC Champion Doberman Pinscher, &quot;Kay Hill&#39;s Study in Scarlet,&quot; but I can&#39;t really remember what we used to bathe her.  I do remember we put egg yokes in her food for her coat.<br /><br />Which breeds did you ex FIL judge??  BTW, Puff is registered in Canada, so he is the States on a &quot;Green Card.&quot;  I think being a Canadian is what gives him such a stubborn mind of his own. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes2:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /><br /><br />Glad to hear you are driving again.  Did they alert the Border Guards yet??  Perhaps I should let them know to be looking for a wild woman in a purple dress and a huge red hat??  No, I guess I&#39;d have to be more specific than that. <br /><br />Later,<br /><br /><br /><br />
