| Help! I can't make a to knot! Rusty's bangs are so long now that he can barely see. They could fit into such a cute top-knot. but everytime i try, he either squirms out of my arms or i can't get it. I'm not trying to put a bow in his hair just yet, because my bf thinks it makes him look like a girl. I'm working on getting some boy bows to fix that, but for now i just want my baby to be able to see. how do all of you get your furbabies hair into a top knot.

| I'm not so good at that either. I comb her hair, hold up the section that i want, then put a cloth type scrunchy thing around it. Three times!! That's the hard part. I have to make sure it's not too tight where it pulls her eyes up (like Eva Gabor) Hahaha! Good luck!

| I use tiny rubber bands like you get from the orthodontist for braces. I make Lacy lay down in my lap with her head facing away from me. I comb the section of hair back and hold it in a ponytail. I then wrap the tiny rubber band around it like three times. Make sure you get the band wrapped tight enough so it doesn't come out too easily, but make sure the hair isn't pulled too tight.

| LOL. great thread.. i SUCK at it!! im a beginner at this though and pheobe barely has enough bangs to do it. I felt so bad. i started with her facing away and was all proud cuz i had it brushed almost perfect and banded up..then when i turned her around to adore her she looked like her eyes were about to pop out of her head!!! I felt SO BAD my exact expression was OH MY GOSH PHEOBE.. WHAT DID I DO?!?! ... i was not expecting it at all. there should be a special "knot" tieing thread.. i read in a magazine that when showing yorkies theres actually two bunches rubber banded and then banded together.

| Same problem here, I have been practicing on molly, her bangs are long enough now for bows I bought the little ones with the snap back, She seems to keep those in better
