I plead "temporary insanity"!!!
 

I still can't believe that I did this to my Toto ... but I did! Now that I'm not quite so traumatized, told Trish and Patrick, I will just let you all see for yourselves!!! :eek: Sooooooooo .... what do you think??? :p

toto is so adorable:) she looks happy:)

I think she looks adorable! It's tough for a woman to get used to a new "hair-do".....give her a few days and she'll be loving it!

OMG YOU CUT OFF THAT LONG PONY !!! :eek:
She still looks adorable !! i

Personally I LOVE it. Patty

and Nannie? Why did you cut the piggytail off??

Lillie and Baby say they are jealous, they want to have theirs cut off so mommy will stop toturing them LOL

Toto looks to cute in them pics!

I think you look very cute!

Awwww...he is such a cutie! Bye-Bye long hair...but he is still super cute!!!

:p Thanks!! She does seem to enjoy all that "freedom"!! I, on the other hand, still cannot believe that I did it. It all started when .... I have been extremely busy lately and it had been a couple of days since I had time to take her topknot down and brush it. The last time I did it, I was in a rush and didn't get it quite tight enough and there was a bit of movement in it ... ladies, get where I'm going??? When I took the bands out and began trying to brush the tangles out, I discovered that the loosly banded topknot, coupled with the back & forth motion every time she moved her little head had made one giant matt on top of her head!! You really couldn't tell it was like that until the bands were removed. Bear in mind that this sweet, precious soul never, ever resists anything I want to do to her ... even lying patiently on her back while I clip her nails, trim her pad hair, etc. She has lain there for 30-45 minutes for me before. I brushed for quite a while and only had a small portion of the hair untangled ... she patiently laid in my lap. The skin on top of her head was already turning red and I looked at her and thought it must be hurting and yet she never complained!! :( I just couldn't do it anymore, so I sat there and just looked at her for about 30 minutes and decided to cut it off rather than put her through all it would take to pick all those tangles out [her hair is cottony]. The hair was about 8-10" long and was soooo cute in a little pigtail but her comfort means more to me than everyone thinking how cute she looks! I just didn't realize that until I looked into those big brown, patient eyes. I just love her more than anything and perhaps we may grow another topknot .... perhaps we won't. For now we are just going to enjoy the freedom of quicker, uncomplicated baths and scratching that little bald head!!!! :p

:) Toto is beautiful, with or without her ponytail!:)

I think I want to kiss on that little nose - she looks PRECIOUS short ! I love it.....hmmmm - I've trimmed Chanel all down but have never cut her top hair -....If I knew she's be that cute I'd do it too....Little Toto still looks ALL Girl

Toto's new do is adorable. Did you keep her topknot for sentimental reasons? I have a "tooth collection" AND a "hair collection". :lol tears

Toto has the sweetest little face! I love short hair but I may be a little bias since I keep the monkeys short :)

She looks beautiful and I agree with V~I want to kiss her little nose :)

very cute Bettye.

Toto would be cute no matter what:D ;)

Aww, Toto looks so cute! She's adorable with or without the topknot and you did a really good job!

Little Toto looks adorable without her ponytail. She has the sweetest face! Besides, it's just hair, so it'll grow back if you decide that you want a different look later

Little Toto would look good no matter what, she is beautiful...My son called me Nonnie for years when he was a baby...how sweet, I haven't heard anyone else use it till now...:) Toto your still the little fashion Diva girl with or without a ponytail....:)

Thank you all for your kind, comforting comments!! Toto is fine with it ... it's me that's having to get used to it!! :rolleyes: Patrick was really funny when I finally got the nerve to tell him ... on the phone. I said, "I cut Toto's pigtail off" ... dead silence ... then a little squeaky voice ... "The whole thing??" :sidesplt: I said "yes" and then burst into tears! He thinks he is gonna love it .... will be home this coming weekend and we will see! Nothing has really changed except that when she runs and plays, there's nothing to toss around on top of her head ... she was so prissy and cute. Heck, she's still prissy and cute and I just know she is much more comfortable ... that thing must have weighed a ton to her! It has only been trimmed on the end a few times in her entire life and I guesstimate it was still about 8" long. That's a lot for a little Yorkie that's an 8" x 8" square little box!! ;)

Aww, Toto is adorable with or without the ponytail!! She has the sweetest face!!
