Oh that sounds cute, you'll have to post a picture. I'm also a fan of bandanas.

My bf is so adamant about not putting a bow on top of Teddi's head that he keeps cutting his bangs so it doesn't get that long. He thinks that bows are "not manly" (even though he says how cute Teddi is all the time). Maybe I'll try the double topknot (since Teddi's hair isn't long enough for a single topknot) without the bow and see what my bf's reaction will be... then later maybe I can sneak a male bow there...

I am in the process of growing Ringo's hair out, and he can't even see because of his hair on his face. I want to put it up onto a topknot, but he just pulls bows out, and yanks on bands until they actually start to rip his hair out.

I wish.

This site has some great tips for getting your dog use to bows and bands. Also, she describes a two band method of putting the topknot in that locks the bow into place. Casual Way to Put Dog Bows In. Petsilk topknot gel is great for those stray hairs, while waiting for them to grow long enough to put in the topknot, no human hair product is anything like it as far as I've seen.

Boys look wonderful in bows! I sell lots of boy bows on my website. I find even the most skeptical DH or BF will accept a "manly" bow. Football bows customized in his favorite team colors are always a winner.

My Yorkie, Ruff, likes bows, or at least he is indifferent. He's a good, tolerant lad and wears them mostly for special occasions. I keep his hair long and he always has a topknot using no-break hair bands. I'm looking for a new Christmas bow for him now.
