I tried to give her a little pony/ top knot last night and it looks like crap lol . I am thinking id rather just get her hair cut so she doesnt need to pull it up out of her face... any suggestions?
C.E.T. makes a beef and poultry flavored toothpaste...YUMMO!!! Try a baby toothbrush with a tiny head. Also, the pet stores have a two headed brush, one large head and one tiny head. I brush my pups' teeth twice per week. Some need it done more often depending on the dental benefits of their daily treaties. Look for rolled up piggie ears. They look much like rawhide, so be careful. Rawhide is a NO NO, lacking immensely in digestibility. The piggie twists are tiny and they can hold them between their paws. C.E.T. also makes a dental rinse that goes into the water to prevent bad breath and tarter....two thumbs up!!!!

As far as the topknot goes....neither one of mine will tolerate it. I get the "fruitcake" comment when I put it in the male's hair, and the female will take your hand off if you come near her with anything that even remotely looks like a rubberband. I have even muzzled her to get it in, then five minutes later, her nail is caught in it and out it comes. If she gets it out on her own, she shreds it in a very militant manner....hehehehehe. Let me know if you figure this one out....I am aaaallll ears!!!!
