Ok here it is True Confessions (or made up ones as long as they are hysterically funny). Probably one of the dumbest grooming mistakes I made was.....
Chattie was a puppy - just a little tyke with not enough hair to put up in a decent topnot. Well, we were making the treck down to PetSmart and I wanted her to look really good. So, being the really smart individual that I am I decided to use some of the hair glue that I use on the mini horses to glue in bows and ribbons and bells, etc into their mane. I thought it was a GREAT idea, same stuff that human dogs use to glue on hair extensions..... With the horses the glue comes right out, I can scrape it off with my fingernail and a little baby oil.
In PetSmart parking lot I glued in the bow and I tell you what Chattie was stylin' and profilin' got huge amounts of attention
and was the prettiest dog in PetSmart even if I do say so myself. When we got home and it was time to take the bow out, I rubbed it with baby oil and guess what.....
the glue would NOT come out. It took weeks for me to "tease" tiny bits of glue out of my baby girl's topnot. Of course the bow was ruined.
Please learn from this DUMB mistake. Do not use hair glue to attach a bows in puppy topnots!
