| Oh no! It so funny you should mention it, I just found one in my comb! Poor Maggie May must have gotten one stuck when I was combing her out. I don't know if it is like cats or not, but cat's loose their instincts or sense of space around them without their whiskers. If your babies walk a little funny, this may be why. It may be a little funny to watch (sort of, now that it's done). Just keep an eye out for them. Hope they are okay.

| ok... yer a dingbat! LOL teasing... you asked for it! Yorkies don't need their whiskers for balance, and when they are all wet, in the bath is the best time to find 'em, and trim 'em! I trim mine, cuz their faces are softer, when you get "yorked" (nuzzled) You did fine, and mine don't seem to grow them back very fast, so maybe they were soft, or not grown out yet when you saw them!

| Me too - it takes away from their pretty hair. I didn't at first until I read about someone else doing it here on YT, I can't remember who but she has show yorkies. They grow back fast though.

My furkids Donating Member | To all my fellow "dingbats"!! LOL!! I will let you all join the "ding bat" club but I am the Grand Puba Ding!! LOL. They have been walking fine but, glad to told me that!! I would have thought somebody put something in their water if I saw them staggering!! I just think it's funny that this is the first time I saw them when I give them a bath so often...and Bentley's Mom,I agree....their little faces are so much softer without them... Thanks for not "busting" on me girls!! LOL
