ok...I am really debating this. I need some serious advice
Maggie has part cotton coat, part silky coat. the back half of her is cottony and curly. the front half is silky and straight. I have the WORST time keeping the mats out of it. I brush her daily...and sometimes more often...but it is such a losing battle. every night before bed, I am digging mats out of her hair. and some of them are really close to the skin. I try to use conditioners and oils when working with the mats but it is just horrible. and if I put clothes on her at all..it's over. sometimes I find myself with the thinning shears trying to cut the mats out without cutting all of her hair out.
I have always wanted a full coat on her. but I am coming to the realization that maybe she just needs to keep her hair short. what do you think? gosh..I will cry if I cut her hair off..but I think it is just best. hubby is begging me not to...but he doesn't have to deal with it like I do. and poor maggie, it has to be miserable for her to sit through it all.
should I do it????
