Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | Show me your topknot pillows/bed if you use one. I am thinking about designed my own satin topknot pillow/bed combo. What are your thoughts on that? Would this be something of great use? I am starting to get my showing kit and supplies together...hehe....all thoughts, comments and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

i am thinking about making a satin topknot pillow with pad attached so as they lay down with their head rested on the pillow their body will be on the satin pad also...would that be a good idea or bad? i mean i was watching the show preparation dvd that came in over the weekend...and thought hey the pillow concept is neat...but why not have it attached to a satin pad also so while putting in the topknot their body hair (which is done before do the topknot) would get sorta messed up...if i make sense.

There have been satin crate pads that have had the neck pillows attched to them; As a matter of fact I still have one from back in the day. The problem is they used velcro to attach the two. I use two seperate. You'll still have to redo the coat a bit after the topknot is up, even using a crate pad for them to lay on. I have some dogs that refuse to lay down during the topknot procedure, but will stand pefectly still while it is being done.

Trying to get a topknot in is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You have some moving their heads this way and that, some hate you to mess with their topknots and others will lay there. Depends on the dog. I am getting better finally after how many years - to put up a topknot on a moving head. | |

| One thing to consider is the maintenance.....crate pads you can wash and dry in delicate cycle. Topknot pillows a bit tricker....I make a very sudsy mixture of cold water and woolite. Using a small scrub brush I only use the suds to wash the topknot pillows, then with the scrub brush I go over it with clear water and then air dry the topknot pillow. I tried doing it via the washer and drier method....all I had was stuffing everywhere.

| Will give it a try.....although, they don't dirty that much, on occassion they require washing, since they'll get stained with products that are used.

| If you ask the pro. handlers for suggestions - they are the ones that can tell you what they need or wish was invented. They are usually at a show every weekend and some - 4 day weekend shows. |
