So i've been massaging meeshas head and brushing it since she was a baby so when her hair was long enough for topknots it wouldn't be as difficult.
Well her hair is long enough now and i've been attempting topknots for over a month!!, i was only able to get 1 in successfully!

.
Once in her hair she dosen't mind it at all and forgets she has it, i use little lightweight elastics, thinner and as small as the ones you get from the orthadentisit....
However when i go to put it in her hair she acts as if i'm trying to murder her

, she squirms, runs hides her head, and the worst she screams and cries as if i am murdering actually going to kill her

. IA try to make it fun by talking to her calmly, toys, treats, distractions, but shes just not having it!
Same as the nails, i've been massaging her feet and touching her nails since i first got her at 10 weeks, however if i go to clip her nails she acts like i'm murdering her..it took 3 vets to hold her down at the vet office just to get her nails clipped, they said she is one of the most difficult cases they've ever had when it comes to nails..she stresses herself out so much she's panting for a good hr afterwards

...same as the hair she'll start stressing and panting after screaming and crying, so i just let her be, her hair is starting to flop in her face
...i don't know what else to to do i've been touching her feet and head since she was a baby and i've been attempting topknots for a month..with only 1 success. i don't even care if its lopsided or what, just as long as she has it in to get her use to getting it put in...
so my question is how long will it take her to get use to the topknot being put in? any suggestions on how to get one in again?..also, will i ever be able to trim her nails myself or is it always going to take 3 people to hold her down lol!...its so stressful on not only her but me too..so i'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get this done without her thinking i'm trying to kill her, thanks
attached is pics of her only elastic topknot ever lol and yes thats a stick she dragged in the house

i took it from her right after the photo,n please ignore her dirtyness she was playing outside because all the snow finally melted
