Don't feel bad about missing the matts; a year ago I was in exactly the same situation as you are thinking the daily brushing was doing the job. I felt terrible when I saw all the matts so close to his skin. Live and learn. One day you'll be the one giving advice to someone in the same boat. |
Yes! That's kind of what Madison's skin is like...loose. I couldn't think of how to describe it, but that's IT! Thank you! It makes it really hard to get the mats out when they're right up at the skin when you can't hang onto anything!
That is such a sweet thing for you to say; it made me cry. I hope you're right
. Thank you very much.
