hair

[odies_mama]

ok so i was wondering what type/kind of haircuts i could give to odie...

i like him having long hair...but at the same time i cant stand when the hair on the top of his nose and eyebrow hair gets in front of his eyes! i cant see his pretty face lol

if he were a girl i would just put bows in it...so what should i do?

should i just not cut those particular areas and just let it grow out!?

also, his ears have never stood up...is that normal?

Heck, id keep it long. And im a dude and yogi is a dude and i still have no prob puttin a guy bow in his hair to keep it out of his eyes. something with flames or crossbones or something. roxie on the other hand is all pink hehe.


when i cut yogis face hair i spray a bit of cologne on my finger tip and put just a tad above his nose which makes him try to get the good smell off by rubbing his face everywhere and messin up his hair, they when he succeeds i hold his face still and just cut every hair that covers his eyes. it works for me hehe...yogi on the other hand hates smelling good.

guy bows huh...? never thought about that. we're getting a petsmart soon so maybe i will stock up on clothes and accessories!

does he wears lots of clothes? bc Odie has only worn halloween costumes but i wouldnt mind dressing him...but i always only see girl stuff

Yes, bows are made for boys. Haven't you ever seen a dog show with a male Yorkie, they always wear bows. They sell many cute t-shirt, tank tops and hoodies for boys at Target, and Walmart lately has had some cute racing car and camouflage shirts.

to be perfectly honest, i have never seen a boy wear bows! whole new concept to me =] but i open to chance and new ideas

yea i'm going to keep checking target and walmart

other than that...any ideas about the hair thing?!

i like puppy cuts. easy and youthful.

The puppy cuts are really cute on a male yorkie

Here, my boy Reno has almost as many bows as my girl, Ruby. I'll let him wear just about any color except pink. And I don't necessarily look for bows with skulls, baseballs or typical "boy" themes. He looks quite stunning in all of his bows.

[odies_mama]

My baby's ears never went up either. He's due for a haircut too. Do you shave your baby's ears when you get his haircut? I'm wondering since his ears are down if I should just leave the long hair on his ears too???

when i got him shaved that one time...i honestly cant even remember how his ears were.looked. but he is 1 yr and almost 5 months old and has only had one cut! (that was the shave)

but i do need to cut the hair on his ears because it hangs soo low...and when he gets water or when i occassionaly let him lick our plates...his ears catch all of it! yucko haha

Max has only gotten one cut and they cut it all short too but I wanted to keep him long this time but I wondered if it would be weird to have long hair, shaved ears, if his ears don't stand up....I guess I'll see....thanks!

[odies_mama]

i wouldnt mind keeping odie long but his hair just gets matted way to easily

plus, i have had him long, and shaved, so i'm just gonna try short and see how i like it =]
