One of my dogs, a little old Dachshund, had really bad kidney problems because her previous owners fed her all sorts of things; fries, chips, ice cream... she was a bit uncomfortable standing near the end, but also old Dachshund ankles I think... she LOVED being held up in a bath of warm water. She would like instantly fall asleep in our hands in the bath. It was adorable (but also sad because she was old and we knew).
