I always said I would NEVER cut her hair, but after the last 2 months of taking out BAD matts every night we decided it was worth a try, and worse case I figured she would grow it back. But I love it short, she looks so much more lady like to me, (of course I am biased as all get out!) I had the groomer do it, because I know I would have screwed it up somehow, and they werent thrilled with the idea either until it was done. It is sad I hear horror stories of groomers shaving our babies without permission, and I guess I got lucky because the gals that do Bridgets hair were paniced that it would look bad and asked at least ten times if I was sure about it. I am glad I did it though she is a pretty little lady now!
