Brushing breakthrough!

That's so exciting! It's great to hear how hard you have worked with Digi!!! Breakthroughs always feel so great!

As for the Digi Mitts (I think that sounds so cute Lol)... I think that is so cool! I would totally do it if I had a long haired dog. I know my cousin had a Norwegian Elkhound, and she got a hat made.

That is wonderful! Once they learn that it is a positive experience they do love it.

My old dog use to LOVE being brushed for hours, he also loved being vacuumed. THe second he'd see it he would get all excited & would lay on the floor to get done first.. once he was done, then we could do the floor lol

So glad she is gaining confidence and maturity every day! She looks so much like a Sheltie in the face, and the office Sheltie at my last job didn't like getting brushed either, but in his case, he had such a thick undercoat, I don't think his people brushed him often enough to get him used to it. Digi certainly isn't puffy like a Sheltie, though, but it is good that she's allowing the brushing! She'll be even more beautiful now!

I brushed her again today & she enjoyed it again, WOOHOO! I was hoping yesterday wasn't just a fluke. I didn't get as much fur out of her this time, but I think I got the majority of the undercoat on her hips & hind legs. The fur on her body didn't have much if any undercoat so nothing was coming out. But I was able to brush her elbows well & the hair on the back of her front legs are MUCH longer . Her crazy elbow hair is also longer, its not sticking out anymore, its now droopy lol

Lol elbow hair... That's good to hear that it wasn't just a one time thing!

Her Elbow hair is crazy.. it doesn't match her front end at all lol
Dad says its doggie version of armpit hair, so she must be french lol

You can get Mitts made from short dog hair & from guard hair, it'll just need to me mixed with either sheep wool or Alpaca hair... However I would recommend not wearing them as they would be soooo itchy!! Or you could just get it turned into Yarn & keep the ball as a memento of your pooch
