| Do you love to brush your yorkie?? Anyone else love to brush their babies?? I was just sitting on the floor with Bo working the mats out from his, ummm ...armpits??...leg-pits??? Whatever, you know where I mean. He's got the cottony coat that will always mat, I'm afraid, unless some miracle happens and it totally changes by the time he's two. So anyway, as I was combing him I thought, I really love to do this. It's kind of a bonding time for me and my little boy. I don't even mind cleaning his eye crumblies. Well, not much. Bo seems to like getting that part cleaned up. Brushing him is very therapeutic for me. Kinda like pulling weeds. Except I'm weeding my yorkie! A couple weeks ago I was giving Bo his once-over and I had a flashback to when I was around seven. I remember that I had a yorkie stuffed animal. I asked my mom and she said I used to love to brush it. It came with it's own little brush. I used to sit for a long time and brush brush brush that thing. Of course it never looked any good. Whatever it's fur was made of always looked like a bushy mess! Now, does Bo enjoy it as much as me? For the most part, I think he does. He loves having his head and back brushed. Not so much his legs. He lays still pretty well though cause he's a good boy and wants to please his mommy (most of the time!) And when I get to the mats under his arms...he just goes to his happy place!!

| Codie and Katie are pretty good about brushing. Although I keep Codie's hair pretty short, so there isn't much brushing involved. But I do run a brush through Katie's goldie locks at least once a day (sometimes I try and do it twice).

| I love to brush Olivia because it's one of the only times I get her to myself. Even when my bf isn't home, the cat is always "stalking" her, trying to get her to play! She's getting better about being brushed, but she still is a little antsy in her young age. I've been putting her up on the counter (under VERY close supervision) while I brush her because she stays most still when there. |

| I brush Maximus everyday sometimes 2x a day...when he got neutered I didn't brush him for a few days...and he had a little knot of his front right leg....but otherwise he was still tangle free...I go in with the brush and then finish up by going through his coat with the comb to make sure he is completely smooth...as long as he has a comb and a brush also..he is all for it...lol. His coat is growing in thinner and silkier then his puppy coat but I have never had a matt before the one on his leg!!

| I would love to brush Deegan more if he didn't fight me so much. Hopefully as he grows up, he will learn to like it. But right now, he hates it! It's nothing but a war between the two of us. Too bad, because like you said, it would be a good bonding experience and be therapeutic as well. You are very lucky to have your dog be so good. Enjoy it!
