Ohhhhhhhhhhh BamaKyttn...ouch! Is it out of the question to wear gloves when you bathe the dogs? I know the water would get in the top at times...but it's gotta be better than being directly in the water for so long. Maybe apply the bag balm and insert hands in gloves...or...oh...wait...how about vaseline on your hands and then into the gloves. It might block the water penetration (hee hee...I said penetration in a thread that's not about sex) and allow your hands to heal a bit!!!???

I feel for ya hun!
