First I want to say thanks... whenever I have a question or concern about Mocha I come here first and do a search and there is all the answers I need. This site is such an excellent source of information.
Mocha (5 months old) hates baths and grooming and it's driving me nuts! Our routine is every Monday morning once the girls are off to school it's bath time. She's learned to hide behind the couch. She wiggles the whole time I try to trim her nails and trimming her hair is such a dreaded task. She is brushed twice a day and I've learned to do it after a good playtime when she is worn out. But how in the world do you get the ponytail in? Her bangs are getting long and need to be pulled up. I've bought ouch less bands, barrets and clips and she just won't stay still long enough for me to get them in. Is it just her age or am I doing it wrong? Is there a different kind of brush I should be using? HELP... hair emergency!
