Thank you for your great advice. I ended up buying a fine metal comb and used my Groom-Aid spray....it worked wonders. I noticed that many of these shed ending combs actually cut the hair, so I didn't want to attempt that without training. I didn't notice his fluff that was starting to mat under his collar until recently, and I brush him daily. The pin brush just wasn't getting all the way down to his skin. I just groomed him today. He looks quite studly and he knows it....has a spring to his step. I want his fur to grow out, so I tipped his wombat ears, shaved the bridge of his nose, his fat tum tum, his little coolie and his %$##...He gave me a strange look like, "Hey, lady, that is too close for comfort!"...
My little boy is growing up....
Thanks again, friend...Lisa, Lilly & Jesse
