Sunny's the opposite- doesn't mind baths (he gets professionally groomed) but every time we get his brush he wants to chew it or runs off. Unfortunately, his hair texture is soft but very fine, almost like down feathers, so he tangles easily. (And the second you try to brush one of those out...forget it. Mr. Squirmy isn't having it!) |
She lets me bathe her but she quivers when doing so... but at least she's getting better than before which she would bolt and quiver. As for brushing she allows hand stripping... but it's a pain...
