I need opinions from my fellow YT members. I'm thinking about having Simba's hair cut. The issue is that Simba's hair is very silky and it knots up very easily which means he needs to be brushed almost every day. However, he HATES being brushed. I'm not kidding, it's a constant struggle with him. I've tried everything I can think of to make him like it but after a year and a half he hates it just as much as he did from when I first got him. So as beautiful as his long hair is I think it would be easier just to have him in a puppy cut. The only thing I'm worried about is that I've been told that some dogs get depressed when you cut their hair off. Has anyone had any experience with this? Most people who aren't dog lovers would think I was crazy if I talked about this but I know that you guys will understand.
