Kamari fights till she gets the bows out her head and she wrestles with Kodak like she's a boy. I guess I have to remember she's a dog to. How do you all get your little girls to wear the bands, barrettes and bows? If I put a dress on her she won't budge, but put some PJ's or a tank on her and she's good to go. I want her to be a sweet litte girl but she's a whipper snapper.

After we left the groomer a few weeks back, the bow lasted 1 hour. She pulls all of Kodaks bands out to so I just had his bangs cut.

Sounds just like my girl! I was so ready to have a little girl to dress up - HA! - she's a little terror!!! My male, on the other hand, is the sweetest little thing and could spend all day in my lap if I let him. He also doesn't mind wearing his hair in a ponytail or putting clothes on. Go figure

I know, I tell you, I was hoping she was going to be like Kodak now I'm praying he doesn't pick up her bad habits. lol

She is a doll!!! I love her look! Pixie is the same way a little tomboy and pulls Cali's bows out all the time. So I just keep Pixie with bangs it suits her personality. Cali is a girly girl.

Patti, I love them in your Avatar. I want her to wear bows so bad, I have to upload her easter pictures, she was so cute for 5 minutes.

That picture is just so cute, I actually can't stand it. To think behind that little angel face, lurks the heart of a Terror Tot...... Same thing with my 5 month old Mango; if I DARE to put a bow in her hair, it's out literally as her little demented feet hit the floor. She is also a TOTAL tomboy, and will have NONE of that girlie stuff!! I pictured dressing her up, when I brought her home, this precious little girl, but no such luck. I now just resign myself to her bouts of puppy derangement.... it's just too darn cute to resist.

Katy used to do that too! I took a while but I kept rewarding her to keep the in. I would ask her if she wanted to go for a ride in the car or for a walk. She would bark and get excited. So, I would say you have to have your bow in. We would put the bow in, go for a walk or a ride in the car and she would forget that it was there.

Now when I ask her if she wants to go, she jumps up the the chair, puts her head down so she can get her bow in.

Patience and consistancy, Good luck!

We have one of those tomboy girls too. We call Carley "Ruff & Tumble"!! I do her hair up in a pony every day at least 4 or 5 times, cause they always come out. I have to keep an eye on her, or the bows (when I put them in) come out and then Cooper chews them up

She will let me dress her, and she forgets about the bows and clothes after a bit, but she always looks a bit "rumpled" after an hours or so!!

My Zada acts like a little princess and loves getting pretty. She acts so dainty and is not a rough and tumble girl. Azrael is the tom-boy. She loves to run and play with the big guys, but at the same time, she loves being dressed up and her bows.

Emma actually likes her bows because it keeps the hair out of her face

I'm lucky she lets us put them in her hair without a fight usually. I just have to make sure it's not too tight and that it's not pulling on her eyes.
Even Miko likes bows in his hair

They have to be manly though LOL
