Ah yes...the sunburst...I know it well! I do almost have my left hand trained to slap the right one when it reaches for the scissors, though. I am trying so hard to be patient but I can hardly wait for the day when the hair gets long/heavy enough to just fall over revealing my boy baby's cute little eyeballs.

The brand is Goody.. 2/3 of an inch. I am so glad I read this thread and tried them! Thank you beautiful Rosie !
Yes.. I know.. I guess it's not the top knot that I was growing out but the muzzle.. The hair. Steven the eyes and the nose!

Ya think...Lol! Looks like Mia's head without her top knot. But poor Brody's top knot hair loops into his mouth without a band, and so much breakage, I think because I accidentally ordered latex bands instead of non-latex because there were so many choices and sizes and my clicker-finger got impatient and...

Mikki is a little doll baby and such a cute name! I love it !

Awwww thank you! She just fights me and fights me about putting stuff in her hair. Rosie just sits there and lets me. Of course, I have had Rosie since she was little. Mikki we just got in July. She was already sit in her ways. Ha ha. I don't know what to do except leave them in her eyes. Either that or I may just have to keep her short.

Thank you...just like her kb buddies!

It is not so much the top knot..but the hair over her nose and between her eyes. I was so mad when the groomer cut that hair! I also have used the latex bands..but have to put in two or three in a row.. Kinda like a braid.

Yes, that is Rosie too. The hair over the nose and between the eyes. How long have you been growing hers out? I wonder if anyone can give a ball park on how long it takes. I swear it seems like forever. But I think we have only been doing it about 6 months give or take.

That would be upsetting...you're the one who has to put up with it growing out again and jabbing her in the eyes.

My friend is doing that now with my pseudo-puppy...err...her gorgeous Shih Tzu. She is putting at least 3 bands and one alligator clip bow and she is just adorable looking like that...I get to puppy sit again in a couple weeks.

Have you tried the old 'cat trick' of smearing a little bit of something she loves the taste of on her front paws? She might just lay there and lick and give you less of a challenge. Notice I didn't say it would be easy, though...

Hmmmm. No I haven't. It is worth a try!

I don't know if yours like it or not, but mine love (virgin) coconut oil and it is an excellent coat conditioner. If she likes it, you wouldn't need but a smidgen of it and it shouldn't be terribly messy. Just a thought...

She loves the coconut flakes that I got from Ryan. So, I bet she would like it.

Can you buy the tiny scrunchies at Wal Mart?

What are the coconut flakes?

At this link you will see latex free bands. I buy them in the 3/8" size because Gracie has very fine hair. They hold her slippery hair very well and I can put a bow in her hair after the grooming bands are in place. For the most part I just use a clip on bow. Once the grooming band is in place you can clip a little bow on and it will stay in place. I have tried the scrunchie but they just did not hold as well as the smaller latex free grooming bands.

They are almost at the bottom of the page of this link.

The last time a groomer cut Gracie's top knot it took a good 4 months to get it to grow back to where I could keep it out of her eyes. I grow Gracie's top from the break in her nose up though some may just grow from the top of the eye up. You can place the latex free bands closer to the front when the fur is too short for regular top knot placement. I have done two little top knots toward the front just to get the hair out of her face.

I give Gracie The Missing Link which is a natural food supplement that is a great boost for skin and coat as well as other nutritional issues. I think Petco sells it now. I sprinkle it on her food and she eats it with no problem and she is quite picky about what she will eat.

I will look for them. I do remember it was a Goody product, now that you refreshed my memory. I just have been unable to find them, but I will continue to look. Thank you so much!
