They aren't meant to have pretty hair". I didn't have Tink with me, so she didn't see her pretty black hair. But that made me so mad I swore I would grow her hair out if it killed me. Then I thought maybe I'd better get some expert advice from people who would probably be gracious with their replies even if I was way out in left field.

I know Tink is a "mutt" (I prefer "mix" it sounds nicer). But she didn't have to be so sassy about it. Sniff sniff.

So, I think the consensus it to give it a try and see what it looks like when it gets a little longer. It grew quite a lot in 3 months so maybe by the end of summer I'll be able to tell.

Thanks for the advice everyone. And thanks for all the compliments on my little Tinkerbelle (aka Tinkerbrat).

Oh how I detest that word, Mutt! It sound like these dogs are useless and unworthy. Anyone who would use this word, IMO, is just plain ignorant!
I would say giving her opinion without even seeing Tink just goes to show
she dosen't know much afterall or just didn't want to be bothered.
