My this girl is like a very needy child she is now showering with me I mean all the way I soap her up she rinses the personality she has is amazing.

Not sure I would soap her up. My bare eyed loves to shower with me and will get soaked to the skin. Then I towel dry and blow dry on low medium heat a foot and half away so as not to get to hot on her. This keeps magic too dust down and her looking good. Soap I would think strips the oils out which could cause itching then plucking. Good old plain water like a rain storm.

Agreeing with the above! Soap ingredients can be toxic over time, but...

Okay no soap hopefully one time won’t hurt man she looks good. I wish I could get my grey too go for a shower.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
One time with soap shouldn't be a problem! Nice to see she is trusting and enjoying the shower!

Arika hated the shower and spray bottle, but the tray with warm water, and a paper towel to drizzle over her has worked several times. She seems to have a lot of fun and gets a blow dry afterwards. May be worth a try.
