So I had been adament about having a longer coat on Mia because if not, I wouldn't be able to tell her apart from Geno. Well of course, her coat is high matienance and needs brushed daily which crappy mommy and daddy have not been doing. I know I know, a groomer I visited on Saturday already yelled at me. Like literally she made my bf and I so embarassed cause of how she looked. So we have been hunkering down and getting serious about keeping up with her coat and right now we are in the process of getting all her knots and mats out. She literally has the most coarse coat. Her hair is so much coarser than Geno's who has a smooth, shiney coat. Geno rarely ever needs brushed.

Anyways, now that we are turning a new leaf and getting Mia looking like she should look - simply fabulous - I have been doing a few things and wanted to see if anyone else had any suggestions or tips on things they do as well. I currently am using a little comb and the most amazing product ever - Cowboy Magic - to get her matts and knots out. The groomer told us not to bathe her yet until we get almost all the matts out so we been waiting on that. Basically, I just put a little bit of cowboy magic on any matts I can find and go with my comb and comb out. I still feel ilke maybe I should get a de-matting comb or something.

What do you do if a dog is pretty matted up? Well other than get them completely shaved. That is our last resort and if it does happen, I am trying everything in my power to save her top knot. I spent about an hour Saturday night getting all the matts out of it so I'm thinking if anything, that will be salvaged.
