Louis’ first Hanukah was filled with treats and presents, so over the next few days, I will share our experience, since some have been more successful then others. Louis’ grandparents were kind and generous enough to set Louis up with his own bed at their house and a second set of dishes so that he can pack a lot lighter for our weekends with them. In addition, knowing how much their grandpup loves his baths, they gifted Louis with a special dog towel.

The Aquis-Britanne Doggie Dryer® boasts itself to be “Your 2nd Best Friend®.” The claim is that the towel is made of a microfiber material that draws water from his coat quickly, reducing drying time. For Louis, that means less time under the dreader hair-dryer.During our morning walk, about a mile and a half from home, the bright sky suddenly opened up into torrential rain. This was Louis’ first time experiencing this side of nature. We waded home through puddles while the heavy rain soaked us. Less then thrilled, Louis kept attempting to shake the water off and his obvious confusion only compounded when a pickup truck rolled by on the street, sending up a spray of dirty rainwater that aimed itself directly at us.As we arrived at home, I figured it was as good a time as any for a bath and to test out he towel. Louis got the extra-large size, in spite of his diminutive stature. Thank goodness! The extra-large is perfect for swaddling my ten pound bundle of joy. On a bigger dog, I imagine it is better used for more vigorous toweling action as opposed to wrapping him up. The Doggie Dryer does not have as thick of a pile as a regular towel, so I was skeptical of its water sucking power. The company claims their unique fabric dries hair 5 times faster then a regular towel. I’ll take their word for it.Right away, you’ll notice it gets soaked through quicker then a regular towel and I did not notice Louis drying any faster (in truth, Louis’ grandma’s expensive towels from Schweizter in New York did a better job, but until I can afford that kind of price tag, we will make do).

Regardless, it got the job done and its great that Louis now has his very own bright red towel. It’s a cute product and Louis enjoyed a rousing game of tug-of-war with it, in addition to being dried by it.You can purchase your own Doggie Dryer at www.amazon.com.
