Hi! My name is Kathi and my husband and I are 1st time owners of a precious little Yorkie named Abbie. To say we are TOTALLY in love with our little angel is an understatement! We live in AZ. and got Abbey about 2 mos. ago. She's the best little dog we've ever owned! Is she a dog? I'm not totally sure!!! LOL! She is soooooooooooo good already! Shoot, she was good from the day we brought her home! (Slept in her crate, on a chair right next to our bed, from the FIRST night!) She plays, she's silly, she loves us to distraction, she's almost housebroken and knows a few (very few) commands. OK! Enough about our Abs!!!
I've been on the forums searching for things for a while now, but haven't made the time to try and fill out my CP and post. Still don't know if I really have an avatar...but, I did upload a pic of Abbey in the gallery, at least...I THINK! LOL!
QUESTION: (I haven't been able to find this on the forums and apologize in advance if it's a topic that has been covered.) Abbey has already been to the groomers twice...the 1st time just for around eyes, nose, toenails, and private areas.... 2ND TIME: Here comes the problem. When I took our little Abbey in...her hair was so glossy, it shone, regardless of the light. I asked the groomer (who came with very high recommendations) to just trim her back ever so slightly to even it out... along with the regulars ...starting her topnot...(slow growing hair!
) ...ANYWHOOOOO.... I noticed that her back wasn't the least bit shiny anymore, though she acted great...in other words, I knew she hadn't been mistreated)... it was way shorter than I wanted and on further inspection, I found that most of the hair on her back was FILLED WITH SPLIT ENDS! I've been trying to clip them off with scissors as much as I can. Has anyone experienced this? What could be the cause???? I would appreciate any help or advice! I WANT MY SHINY LITTLE COAT BACK AND THE SPLIT ENDS GONE!!!!
HI, again!
