Candy Girl went to the groomer today. If you don't remember or new here and don't know. Candy Girl is our
Shih Tzu.
Dr. Corny bought her for me 3 years ago. She was only 3 pounds when he brought her into the house, and said here bug. Well, it was love at first site. She had me at hello.
She was my baby, and to this very day I do believe she thinks she is human. She doesn't know she is a dog and we don't have the heart to tell her.
Shih Tzu's take a lot of work with grooming. Her hair is (was) beautiful and long, flowing down to the floor. It has to be brushed once a day.
Shih Tzu's had a double coat, the top being soft and fine and more like human hair, the
under coat, like cotton.
I have been so busy taking care of the kids, that poor Candy Girl has been neglected as far as grooming goes. I looked at her the other day and about had a stroke. She had taken her paws(nails) and literally teased her whole head. Remember in the 60's when women used to tease their hair with a teasing comb so that they could have those huge bee hives? Yeah, kinda like that. She had it teased to the skin. Matted. There was no way I could comb that out.
So off she went to the groomer today and once again, poor Candy Girl had to get shaved. Mini Bug is still staring at her in amazement wondering what happened to her. I said, where did Candy
Girlz hair go, Mini Bug looks up at me all confused and says in her broken
English, I dun
kno.
Ahhh well. Hair grows.
