Thank you mimimomo!!!! I have been doing the line brushing...although I didn't know that's what it was called lol which was working better. Honestly....she is great for a regular brushing if there are no tangles....but that's rarely the case. So I try to make sure if I have a spot that is tangle free I will just sit and comb her for a few minutes. She likes it. But if there's tangles....watch out haha. I will definately try something yummy for her to chew....right now she's just getting introduced to her new food after being on i/d for a week. So once she's adjusted we will be getting some bully sticks or little pig ears. After combing we did a bath...used extra conditioner and let it sit. Rinsed her good...and we dried and then combed. She's always a little calmer for a little longer after her bath so I tried working on her legs first. She did ok. But there's still two or three knots in her belly area. She tolerated it for about 15 minutes so when she got wiggly I quickly combed the snarl free areas, gave her one Zukes and let her go. I will snip those tangles in her belly tonight. I am a little nervous cutting her hair or shaving anything yet .....but I don't want to take her to the groomer until she has had a little more time after her shots. Her last one was two weeks ago and she will get her rabies shot tomorrow. So I will have to get over that! So shaving her belly and the back side of her legs would be recommended? I am growing her coat right now and excited to see what her coat will look like. She has amazing silver coming in like crazy!! I'm just afraid to cut any hair I may regret haha I worry more about her hair than my own!! I have not cut any hair on her ears (I do pluck the canals) but they seem to have no issues standing! Her hair is very fine and light on her ears and the rest of her body hair seems to be starting to fall in the right direction. It bounces when she walks. And I have not trimmed her feet....but they seem to the least tangled area she has! |
