Also on the bands, what size does everyone what???? I use the smaller ones so the bands on the bows won't have to be double over....

As for barrettes.... They are a huge choking hazard and I do not want anyone to experience anything horrible... You know our fur-babies are our babies.... I have 2 of my own.....

Hi teresa! let me answer your questions so you can get a better idea, as now that I am reading around I believe I have specific issues due to my specific dog.

Well as I said pebbles is soo tiny!! she is 2.8 pounds and very compact with a little tiny head!! actually I havent been able to use the bows enough times to find out that they get less stiff with more usage. The only time I saw one get less stiff was once when a bow fell out and she got it in her mouth and was chewing on it for a bit! it got a lot softer after that.. I would hate to try wetting them though to get them to be softer. my main issue with the hardness, as compared to others, is that it makes them
heavier. I do not have a problem with them being stiff, as my other bows are stiff, but yours seem to be a bit more stiff .. it also makes the loops poke out a lot/ as they can be kinda round and it makes them look big on pebbles head. i try to squish them down a bit to make them look more proportionate on her but it doesnt always work. I like the loops you have on your hello kitty/ single loop bows... those work a lot better!

Pebbles has thin hair so even with the tiny bands, I have to double to triple the loop around her top knot for them to stay in. This seems near impossible! I am unsure of the length of the bands I use, but I would say they are a little bigger than yours, with some more elasticity for easier doubling up. the grooming bands i use are quite big and thin actually which I have to tie around 7 times. I do not expect the bows to be made with those kinds of bands though.

I agree with the poster above that bow makers should give this as an option. as I have mentioned above, the bows have fallen out with the rubberbands and she has gotten a hold of them and chewed on them!! I think that is just as bad as having one with a barette in your mouth, but as it has been, with how I tie the barrette ones in, they have never gotten out an into her mouth. It IS a matter of individual usage/personal application of the bows
now that is just ridiculous!!! 5 months? are they servicing the entire dog show community? lol!!
I am glad you are running a sale.. I saw the email in my box. thanks for that! I will look into your options and see into possibly custom ordering some with bigger elastics
but please do consider offering the (french)barrettes!
