Mandy will be nine months on Nov 3rd .. baths have been so awful ... with the brushing out after! I am thinking you have something there about shaving it off.... although we live in Canada and we have had one snow so far... the weather is likely to change quickly now (colder). So not too sure if I should go that route or wait until my order arrives to see if the Mink sheen will do the trick! I love her long hair but just so much work!
