Getting bows in her hair is the one thing Stella tolerates well, but I have a good reward system set up with her also. After a couple of times putting her hair up, not always a great looking job I always gave her a treat. Now when I sit her on my lap and pick up the comb she just lays her head on my knee and doesn't move. Now if she would just get over wanting to be a nudist, she's become a pro at taking her tee shirts off.
