Baby Maggie's hair is pitiful - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mybirdys2003 · 11-11-2004, 11:02 AM

My Snoodles is almost 10 months old now. Her hair is starting to look better. I do put conditioner in a spray bottle and spray a little on her before I brush her. They said never to brush her dry, as it ruins the hair. I loved the look when her ears were down, in fact, my husband didn't want them to go up, but up they did go! I can't keep a bow in her hair, and it frustrates me, but I haven't seen too many with bows in their hair for long.
She doesn't like being groomed. But I do it every morning, along with teeth brushing and eye cleaning. Even though she doesn't let me know she likes it, after breakfast, she sits by the sink waiting for her grooming----lpprobably the treat afterwards! Pat

I think she just has that puppy hair that will be replaced by beautiful Yorkie hair and I wouldn't worry ! My Cherish has really fine hair that looks good for maybe 10 minutes if I'm lucky...then it's back to ratty looking and I don't worry a bit ! She'll have whatever she'll have ! After my Chanel and her tons of hair - one with thinner hair is a piece of cake !

I have their photos here and Cherish is mixed in with Chanel...

Those pictures were absolutely darling everyone of them! Such cuties! Pat

I give mine extra calcium. When they are teething it takes calcium away from their ears . I either give a pill form or feed them cottage cheese. I also shave their ears, and have taped them.

Hi ! Went to the above web site, and it said the page could not be displayed etc. This is the second time I got this. Will keep trying! It's getting so cold here, I feel sorry for my little one having to go outside to go potty. I did make it a coat with double fleece. It's going to be really bad when it gets 20 or 30 below zero. Did make her booties, but she lays down and rolls around the floor like she was shot! Still trying to get those abows to stay in! Pat

20 - 30 below!?! Where are you??

Thought Toto and I would freeze here in Colorado this winter! I do believe it will be colder where you are!!

mybirdys2003 · 11-15-2004, 09:40 AM

I'm in Butte, Montana. We're in a valley surrounded by mountains. The cold gets trapped in here and doesn't leave for a week or two. If you look up Butte, Mt. on the net, you will see where it was 54 below zero once. My kids came back for X-mas, and their cars were froze up, tried to pull them, and their tires were froze flat. It really does get cold here. I dread it! We are the same elevation as Leadville, Colo. A mile high! Pat

The picture are cute. I don't know what to tell you about the hair. I would have to agree with the others the hair will grow.

Hi, Max's Mom, I am going through the same thing with Nemo, that is why I was so upset when I took him to petsmart and they shaved him after I asked them not to, my concern was his hair was thin, and even thinner on his legs, and now it looks like he has no hair on his legs and thighs because of the poor cut he received, and right now his coat it is all over the place completely straight, my mom and aunt calls him "wild man".... they say he always look wild when they see him, I have to fight with him to get his hair brushed everyday, which after the struggle it always look the same as before I brushed it, so don't think you are the only one going through it, I know my little one's hair has been a concern for me from day one, because my friend who bought a puppy from the same litter, Nemo's brother his coat is very thick and pretty right now....

Brittie123 · 11-22-2004, 08:54 PM

DON'T WORRY!!! Puppies always go through the "bad hair" stage! Mia had the worse, she lost practically all the hair on her chest before it grew back into a beautiful healthy coat. I also use Chris Christenson system products which I think really changed her hair from matted and cottony to silky and really shiny! I use the day-to-day shampoo and conditioner and I spray the Ice-on-Ice leave-in before brushing her. I've told a bunch of people about it and many have told em they couldn't believe how great it worked! You can buy them at www.chrissystems.com. (I promise I'm not affiliated with them, I just really love their hair stuff for Mia!)

Gosh I love that dog! She is just a darling! Her toy is bigger than she is! You must tell me how you keep the bow in and what kind it is. As Snoodles isn't much bigger than Mia. I thought it was because kshe was little , so maybe didn't have enough hair on her head. Give ma a hint! Pat

Brittie123 · 11-23-2004, 01:16 PM

Hi Pat, I got tiny snap-clips from CVS pharmacy, they were 18 for $2 and they were in the hair section with the kids stuff. It stays in well and its easy to put in!

mybirdys2003 · 11-23-2004, 02:03 PM

WE don't have a CVS Pharmacy here. I bought some of those snap clips and glued a bow on them, but they didn't work. She shakes her head, and bingo they are gone. I have to admit I haven't found any really little ones. About how long are they? Thanks Pat

Brittie123 · 11-23-2004, 03:57 PM

They are really tiny, about 3/4". I bet you could find them at any pharmacy or Walmart or Target I bet.

mybirdys2003 · 11-24-2004, 08:21 PM

Wow! That is tiny! They don't have them at Wal-Mart as I bought the littlest I found there. Have looked at the dollar stores also. Will keep looking! Thanks for the answer. I would never have thought they made them that small! Thanks!
Is that the clip you are going to keep Mia in? It's so cute. I am currently trying to let her hair grow out, but it's driving me crazy and keep thinking, don't cut, don't cut! Ha! Pat
