She's a beauty!!
The clothes are darling!
First, how old is she...
...in regards to the hair, I was in a very similar situation........ to cut, or not to cut!
I always thought I would stick to a puppy cut. But then, when Jaya got her hair cut the first time, I was simply........destraught. The lady cut it way too short, and you could barely recognize her. I missed all the hair, and when the hair around the face got cut- well it totally changed the way she looked. I was upset for a very long time. After that, I made the decision to grow their hair long.
I got Jenna a month or so after Jaya had her haircut. Jenna is 7 months and Jaya is ten months old
Fast forward six months. Within that time I would stick their top hair in a pony tail (you can buy those mini rubber bands that dont hurt when u pull them out). Those work great - totally keeps their hair out of their eyes, and looks SO cute.
Anyway, Jenna always had thin hair on the top of her head - it is growing thicker (but very slowly). Anyways, a few weeks back, they had their ponytales in, and they looked so shaggy... their hair was long but they no longer looked like puppies.
So, I first took Jaya into the bathroom....... she had her ponytale which i trimmed off maybe a quarter of an inch. I then focused on her face and took off about an inch, and left the length about 2 inches. Trimmed the rest of her in a similar way.
Then it was Jenna`s turn.......... did the same with her.
SO! I basically left the hair on their head long enough to remain in a ponytail but gave them a puppycut for the rest of their hair - and I must say, that I absolutely love it.
I chose to keep the hair for the ponytail long because, it really bothers me when the hair falls into their eyes. If i was going to get a groomer to cut that hair- they shave the hair on the bridge of their nose, and then when it grows back, the little hair pokes them in the eye, causing eye goobers.
So now, I am in a very happy state about their appearance. Basically - they are in between dogs......... they look like puppies because i trimmed around their faces giving them cubby little cheeks but very fashionista because they have a ponytail! I plan on doing this for as long as I can!
I have yet to post pictures of them as almost-adults
But I will soon!
Hope that helps!
