I have cut Hannahs before but not very short, but I have never cut Gracies because she has the most beautiful coat I have ever seen. My daughters maltese Bentley had very thick long hair...he would rarely run and play outside and he would just lay and watch the other dogs play so she had him shaved and he was sooooo happy. He would run from one end of the house to the other like crazy when we got home. He was so excited to show everyone who came to our house. And now outside he has fun. I think you made the right decision. She looks beautiful. |
Hi, thanks so much for the sweet comment. I was so scared to cut her. Like you, I was in love with my baby's coat.
However, I knew she was suffering and I couldn't take it anymore. At first I cut the hair up to the bottom of her ribcage but her hair is so thick and she kind of looked like a mushroom to me, LOL!!
Pia's really short and I knew it would be to the floor again so fast. I told my fiancee to grab the clippers so I didn't change my mind and I just went for it. When I first saw the hair coming off I think I went into shock for a second, hahaha. Then after I was done I thought she looked so cute. She seems to prance even more now and has so much more energy. I don't regret it at all!! Maybe you could try a shorter cut first and see how you feel and then go more once your comfortable. Your babies are just adorable, so they will look beautiful nomatter what. Good Luck!! I know its a hard decision to make.
