I shaved Lucy at around 5-6 mos of age because of ringworm. That was 9-10 mos ago, and her hair is only to about her 'knees'. I have trimmed it several times so that the ends would even out around her skirt... But I still have about an inch to go before that happens. So it's still a good 6-7 inches off of the floor.

Growing her hair is soooo frustrating! Especially when it grows as slowly as Lucy's!

Oddly enough, the hair on her ears and vulva grows WAY more quickly! I've always wondered if there was somthing in their urine that makes the hair grow faster there? I just wish the rest of her coat would grow as quickly!
