Look at that bushy hair!
Girl, I'm feelin' your pain. My puppy had (has) very thick, curly, cottony (at this point) hair, and it got to be impossible to comb through.
And strangely enough, the hair on her HEAD is fine and thin, and doesn't seem to be growing out. So her head always looked "too small" for her body to me, but as that puppy coat grew out....and out....she just started looking like too much of a CHIA PET! :eyeroll:
I hated to do it, but I ended up shaving off all of her puppy coat, down to where the new growth was coming in. I miss her curls, but she looks SO cute with her little schnauzer cut, and hopefully the new texture coming in will be easier to care for!
