I had no idea how teeny TINY a shaved down 4 pound yorkie looks... I swear when you see her head on, she looks like a floating head! From the side she looks like a cartoon character with a toothpick body and ginormous lion head! She is acting insecure too and not like her usual self and I miss the way she used to look... how fast or how long will it take for her to start looking normal and not like a cartoon freak?!
I don't have any advice, I just wanted to say your post cracked me up! I have seen exactly what you are describing- the "floating head" statement still makes me chuckle out loud! Good for you for taking it in stride and not getting upset. It's just hair- it will grow back out in no time.
She is probably feeling insecure due to the lack of hair and feeling the air on her skin more than before. I am sure she will get use it in no time, but you could maybe put a light shirt on her just so she doesn't feel quite so naked.
