The little ponytails are just the tail hair just past the end of the little nub ... on the hips I just brush it until I have all that looks like it will get in the way of her poop [her hair is so long, I usually gather an inch or two wide at the part on her back and about halfway down her leg and just brush it up and put a rubber band around it a couple of inches from the part]! From the rear it looks like three little ponytails and when she runs/walks she prisses and they bounce! It's sooo cute! All the hair around her little "poopie place" is cropped really short with scissors [we don't use a razor anywhere on Toto because that stubby hair causes her to scratch!] I will try to get some pics of it when Papa is here to distract her ... she always wants her
face in the camera!
