- All right.
Today our little man
Kobe is getting his very
first bath.
And we're going to do
it live with you guys,
because we thought it
would be a lot of fun.
Now, here's the thing.
You know, maybe he's had
a bath before at the vet,
but he's got some
sensitive skin and so we're
going to use special shampoo.
If you're new here, Kobe is blind.
And we are fostering
him for Reverse Rescue.
So, baths are scary for a lot of dogs,
but definitely for a blind dog.
So I thought what we'd do is we'll fill up
the bath, but we'll go outside real quick
and we'll weigh him while
we're filling up the bath.
Because that sound,
that faucet sound will be really scary.
Look.
He's already worried about this.
He's already like, "Help me."
(laughing)
So we'll go outside.
We'll weigh him.
Now, two weeks ago he was 31 pounds,
so how much do you think he weighs now?
Guess.
We'll go weigh him.
And I'll turn on the bath.
Okay.
Kelly's operating the camera.
So Kelly, I'll let you give--
Oh you can show, Kelly, how he sits.
- [Kelly] Okay.
- How he learns how to sit.
Okay. Come here, buddy.
All right. So we're going
to do our first bath
with Kobe today.
I feel like he already
knows something is going on.
(laughing)
All right. Comment with
your guesses on how much
you think he weighs now, two weeks later.
He was 31 pounds two weeks ago.
I'm going to go turn
the bath on real quick.
- [Kelly] Okay.
- Kelly, you want to give him a treat?
- [Kelly] Yeah.
Kobe! You want a treat?
Okay, someone says 50 pounds.
That's a good guess.
Okay. Kobe, Sit.
Sit.
Oh, good boy.
No, Flip.
Sit.
Good boy.
Here you go, Flip.
Come here.
Sit.
All right.
Flip you want a treat?
Zozo?
Oh. Okay.
All right.
Come here, guys.
(kissing sound)
Come on.
- Okay. Can I just show
everyone the toys that
we got for Kobe's bath?
We've got him some toys for the bath.
We have some treats for the bath.
What's he doing?
Hiding over there?
- [Kelly] Well I was
just giving him treats.
Okay. We have some guesses coming in,
42 pounds, 38 pounds...
- Okay. I guess I have
to weigh myself first.
- [Kelly] Yeah, weigh yourself.
- I don't know if we
should tell this on camera.
You know what? We're close. We're family.
I'll tell you.
(laughter)
220.
- [Kelly] Is that good?
(laughter)
- I think that's fighting weight.
All right. Get your final guesses in now.
No changing them later.
Are you excited about
your bath, little bud?
- [Kelly] Oh my gosh. He's gotten so big.
- He's so big. I mean look how big he is.
Okay. All right. Here we go.
I'll tell ya. So the total
weight is 254 exactly.
- [Kelly] Okay. So 34 pounds.
- I mean, so more than a pound
a week this dude has grown.
That is crazy.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- That's crazy. Look.
He's almost as big as Flip
and he's only 3 months old.
That is crazy.
- [Kelly] He's probably 4 months now.
- Four months. Okay.
And did you show them how he sits?
- [Kelly] Yeah. Here's a piece.
- Okay. Watch this guys.
He's getting so good at it.
All right, Flip. I know
you got it down, Bud.
- [Kelly] Kobe, facing the wrong way.
- Kobe. It's around here somewhere.
Sit.
Oh, god boy.
He's kind of playing
hungry hippo right now
where he just grabs at it,
so what I've been doing...
There you go. Just kind
of touch him to let him
know it's there.
Hold on. Zoey got left out.
Zoey isn't probably going
to be around as much
in this video because she hates baths.
She's probably not going
to be around as much.
Let me go check the bath water.
- [Kelly] Okay.
Kobe!
(kissing sounds)
All right.
Oh, good boy. Good boy.
Ready. Okay.
- [Rocky] It's bath time.
- [Kelly] Do we want to see if he'll go up
the stairs?
He probably won't for a bath.
- So as you can imagine.
Blind dogs going up and down
the stairs is really tough.
Up stairs is tough, down stairs is tough.
Think about closing your
eyes and walking down stairs.
Pretty scary.
So we've been trying.
We're working on him with it.
It's been tough.
Maybe after the bath we can try that.
Okay. Here we go.
Here we go. Bath time with Kobe.
Okay. Here I got to put my pant legs up.
So with blind dogs
everything is sensory, right?
It's all about smell and touch.
So before we even put him in the bath,
we're just going to let him smell.
Because there's suds there.
They're puppy safe.
Okay. And he's got some
medical grade shampoo
we're going to wash him
down with because he's
got some sensitive skin.
That's why we waited a
while for his first bath.
This little boy has had so many issues.
That's why someone turned him in.
He's got a heart condition
that you guys helped
to raise money for.
So we'll get his heart
surgery as soon the Doc says.
Probably after quarantine.
He can't see, but we might
be able to fix his eyesight.
Okay. Here we go.
So then, we're just going
to introduce his paws.
The bath water is just the right temp.
Introduce his paws a little bit.
- [Kelly] Tell him to sit.
- Sit. Here.
We might need a treat.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- Sit.
- [Kelly] He's doing good.
- No, no, no.
Okay, okay. All right.
Sit. Come here. Come here. Okay.
Good boy.
That's a good boy, Kobe.
Sit.
I try to think of videos
that I'd want to watch
when I was in quarantine,
and watching a puppy
get his first bath is
definitely a video that I'd want
to watch in quarantine.
Stay, stay. Okay.
So what we're going to
do is take this medicated
shampoo.
We're just going to put this on our hands.
It's just medicated for sensitive.
Here. Let me get in there,
so he knows it's okay.
Okay, okay.
A little worry in his eyes.
I think that's fair enough.
Okay. Okay.
- [Kelly] Good boy, Kobe.
- (mumbles)
So the thing with dogs
in the bath is you start
from the bottom, right?
You don't want to pour
water over their head.
Whoa. Okay, Okay.
It might get a little messy.
You don't want to pour
water over their head,
because you know, it's a little scary.
Hey, sit.
- [Kelly] You know,
maybe you should've worn
swim trunks, instead of jeans.
- I mean, I think everyone
else in quarantine
isn't wearing pants.
I should've just got no pants.
(laughing)
Okay, okay.
Oww, goopey.
That was my whole finger, meanie.
- [Kelly] Still working on
being gentle with the treats.
- I call it the hungry hippo.
He just kind of grabs at
it, because he can't see.
So he's just like, let
me take a stab at this.
Okay. Sit. Good boy.
- [Kelly] What about the toys?
Did we leave the toys outside?
- Oh! I'll go get them
in here in a minute.
But first, let's just.
Okay. We're going to start down here.
- [Kelly] Okay. I think
we're going to have to
just get after it, because
he's getting antsy.
- All right. We're picking up steam here.
Getting his first bath.
Now, the goal of this
bath isn't like complete
cleanliness, it's just
introducing him to it.
Okay, okay. Good boy. Good boy.
That feel good?
He's like, "Get me out of here man."
He's doing better than I
would have thought, though.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
Have him sit.
- Yeah. Easy for the
camera operator to say.
(laughing)
Oh, good boy. Good boy.
He's being really good.
- [Kelly] Yeah, he is.
- For a puppy, in his first bath.
Look how cute he is.
Okay, okay. All right,
all right, all right.
Okay, okay.
- [Kelly] Here, you want the cup?
- He's going to have a little soap on him.
This soap is okay to be on him.
There we go, there we go.
Okay. Here we go.
- [Kelly] He does not like that.
- Now for the messy part.
(laughing)
I have a feeling I'm going
to get really wet here.
Oh, good boy. Good boy. Okay. Come here.
- [Kelly] Got to have the T word ready.
- Come here, come here.
Oh, there we go.
There's that dog bath shake.
Come here, come here, come here, Kobe.
Come here, bud
He's like looking for
the treats right now.
So this show is, Dogs and Coffee.
My coffee is up there.
(laughing)
But you can't give a dog
a bath and drink coffee
at the same time.
Okay, let's see if we
can get him to go down
the stairs, and play with
his toys, and give him
treats for being such a good boy.
Here we go. Ready? Okay.
- [Kelly] Okay. Yeah. Okay. Come on, Kobe.
- [Rocky] Good boy!
- [Kelly] Come on!
(kissing sounds)
- [Rocky] There you go.
- [Kelly] No, wrong way.
- Come here. Come on. Oh,
he's going for the treats.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
(laughing)
Kobe!
- Come here, Bud.
- [Kelly] That's so funny,
he knows they're in there.
- (mumbles) All right.
Let's see if we can get
him to go down the stairs.
- [Kelly] Come here, Bubba.
- Let me move me my treats. All right.
Let's see. Here we go. Come here, Bud.
Come on. You can do this.
Come on. Come on. Look at this.
Aw, he's shaking a little bit.
I think we'll do stairs another day.
- [Kelly] Yeah. We'll have to
keep working on the stairs.
- Okay. You want to come see your buddies?
It's nice and warm, too.
So that's good, so he's not cold.
But let's play with some toys.
(squeaky toy sounds)
Good boy! Come here. Kobe!
- [Kelly] Hi, Bud.
He's just looking for more
treats, I think. (laughing)
I don't have any.
- [Rocky] Okay we'll
give you another treat.

Thanks for joining us for his first bath.
Now we've got to dry him off some more

I love you.
Okay. Bye.
