Hmmm, I have never heard that before. I will be interested in reading more posts on this subject.
If this is true then that would mean that Schatzie will have a grey hair'd hip since it was shaved prior to her surgery. And ya wanna know what? It's growing back silver, hahahahaaa. So, she will look patchy then I guess.
Heck, to be honest with you, I wouldn't care if she turned pink and purple as Id love her just the same !
