I have a really nice...PINK....sweater that I bought for Ru, that she can't wear with her skin condition. Is it okay if Ray wears a PINK sweater?

"Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do! " When Laurel was going through that puppy to adult coat, her hair would mat so bad, I felt bad that she had to endure my working on her for such long periods of time. Once she fell asleep while I was brushing out her tangles and mats. Finally I took her the groomers and had her cut very short. She was happier and I was happier.

Go for it. It will be so much easier for both of you and I think he would look cute in a short cut with a pink sweater. Plus not all dogs have the coat for a full coat and you will have more time to work on MiMi. I know for a fact if I had more than one fluff, they would both be cut because I just could not keep up with two in full coat.

Okay. tomorrow I will get out the shears and strip him. The sad thing is that he looks so good and so cute...until you get deep down and find the tight tangles from the skin. Okay, tomorrow I will strip him...hey it will be like having a new puppy, right?

He will look adorable and feel great! Pink is in for guys so he will be a total fashion icon in his sweater! Don't feel bad...you are amazing!

That is what I think. I look at April with her three beauties...or Elly with two magnificent full coated malts. If I only had MiMi, I could keep her perfect. Ray is a different story, he is magnificent in full coat. But his hair is thick and cottony...beautiful, but even more difficult than a Malt. He might be a little weird, but he will be okay. Tomorrow is the day...wish me luck...and strength.

I nearly cried when I chopped off Tucker's topknot.
