My SadieMae HATES ponytails/bows of any kind. Does anyone else have this problem and if so do they ever grow out of it? Sadie just turned 2 and she gets more and more frustrated if I put her hair up. She immediatly tries to take it down, rubs her face, paws at it and finally either gets it out or has this dispondent "i hate you" look! (you can see proof in our photos!) Any ideas? I won't force her to wear them if she hates it that much but i would love for her to wear cute little ponytails

thanks!

Stella does the same thing, and she used to be worse but I started putting her hair up at night before she went to sleep because otherwise she'd wake up with crazy einstein bed-head hair that would take half an hour to fix. I think that helped her get used to it a bit.

I've also been working on trying to make sure they are loose and not pulling any hair and I try to make her little puppy topknot as close to her forehead as I can, otherwise she can scratch at the hair back by her ears and get it out. She's a bit of a tomboy, but I'm OK with that. Hope that helps!
