I am not only the extremely proud Mommy of our 2 yr old Onegus, I have 13 grandkids from 4 - 25. (Only one girl) I got lots of negative comments from the boys about dressing Onegus, especially his snowsuits, and told I had too much time on my hands, until I asked them why they wore heavy socks and shoes and coats on cold days and hoodies in the house. Got some stupid looks til I explained that while they could pick their feet up off of the floor and wrap in a blanket if they got cold, HE couldn't and since he was only about 10" total off the floor and under 7# and doesn't know he can jump onto the couch, he had to wear clothes. Also told them that if they were that tiny (none of them ever were) and cute anymore, I would make lots of cuddly things for them too, lol. As for the matts, we brush in the morning and at night before bed and sometimes just for fun while watching TV. I use a spray detangler made for little kids hair and have a dematting comb if they are bad matts. Don't have a problem normally unless he has been extremely active, and he loves getting brushed. He actually begins whineing and wandering in the hallway around 9:30PM looking to get his jammies on and go to bed. Took us awhile to catch on to what he wanted. If we don't go right to bed, he crawls into his little cube bed and snoozes off as soon as he has his jammies on.
