| Shedding Hey guys. It's been a while since I've been here, it seems like things have been sooo hectic lately. Wow, there are so many names that I don't recognize and I know you guys assume I'm a new member!Anyway, I hope I can check in more often now. I have missed YT!! Molly is growing....she is up to 3 pounds now and is almost 4 months old. She is so spoiled it is pathetic. Still not really pee-pee pad trained, only when she wants to and still bites the crap out of my hands. The bitter apple helps. She also would rather play with anything belonging to my three yr. old than her own toys and it drives my daughter crazy! This morning, somehow she managed to take Ashlyn's flip-flop off of her foot and take off with it! I do have a question. We were at the vet today, but I didn't ask him, you guys usually know more anyway about this kind of stuff! The past couple of days, she seems to be shedding a little. I brush or comb her everyday and in fact had combed her right before we went to the vet, but while I was there, I really noticed some hair on my shirt, not a tremendous amount, but more than there should be. Any ideas why and what I should do? It may just be a freak thing, but if not I would rather nip it in the bud before it gets too bad. Thanks for any input you may have.

| I think they lose more of their hair when they begin getting their adult coats. Lady has been blowing(I think it's called) her coat because of her pregnancy and the birth of her babies. Autumn was losing a lot of hair at about the same time and I think she was losing her baby coat. Now it is getting hot here and I think they are losing some hair because of it. Sylvia |

| That explains it then he was a rescue and we think he was between 6-8 months old he was in sucha state when we got him we had to shave him. So we may have missed that stage. |
