This has been a fun post... for those of us who have gorgeous pups but aren't 'show dogs'. We'd like to prep and groom our babies just as the show owners do, but we really don't know how. Or even if we should. I'm letting Maxie's hair grow out. Now, I not only do my hair in the morning, but I get up early enough to do Maxie's! He has to have two 'ponytails' for the longer face hair, and a single tail closer to his eyes so he can see. He looks adorable. But as his coat grows out, there are tangles under his arms and on his legs that defy regular brushing, and I hate hurting him to get the tangles out. Very soon I'll have to decide whether to return him to his short puppy cut, or push through this difficult grow out period. |
