Villette-
Ok some of it may have gone in a bow but if you run a line from the corner of her eye straight back towards her ear some of the shorter hair starts under that line so I know I wouldn't have put that hair up. And if I did she would be walking in circles because one eye would be shut b/c of it.
As far as a groomer, I mentioned that earlier but now that I think of it I don't think that's it, because she hasn't been to a groomer since Nov. I do just basic touchups myself ears bum feet nails etc. So if they did it considering the length it is now they would've had to have shaved it and I would have noticed it. Its actually a fair amount of hair so I would've noticed that much gone in that area. They did an excellent job so I wasn't trying to blame them or anything, I'd go back in a heart beat just haven't needed to lately.
On the hair dryer bit, I agree and also do those things. I'm a little weird about things I just immediately start thinking oh no I'm horrible what did I do. Plus like I said earlier I really don't dry her head anyway because she doesn't like it and hides her face.
Now the rubbing of the head thing, that's something I didn't think of and could really be it. Whenever she gets on our bed the first thing she does is rub her head all over the covers(nice to know this is a yorkie thing not just a crazy Reagan thing). Just her head, and she isn't constantly itching other parts of her body and really the only place that she does it is on our bed. But I would say that she does it enough to break hair. She does it when her hair is up, when its down, when I just put it down, when I just put it up, even when its been down all day, it doesn't matter when. The only thing that makes me doubt this is that the ends of the hair look healthy, no breakage or split ends. Although the tips are lighter than the rest of the hair. The hair is the gold/brown around her face and the tips are much much lighter, not quite white but very light. So maybe, I'm incorrect and this is a sign of breakage. This is also what made me immediately think hair dryer because since they were lighter my first thought is that they were burnt, but the hair itself doesn't look like its been burned(no singed ends or anything).
Oh and as far as the products we used to used Plush Puppy and have recently switched two weeks ago to Pet Silk and Shea Pet(I had to try them both). The hair was like that before I switched though, and when I took her to the groomers way back when he said she had a very healthy coat and skin and I was using Plush Puppy. So I don't think its the products.
See the fact that it was more so on one side had me wondering too. Its on the other but nothing like it is on that one side. I think I'm just going to chaulk it up to new hair growth and just keep a close eye on the rest of her coat to make sure other funny things don't keep happening.
Thanks for everyone's help.
