Kelly - I did purchase some bows from your website and they are really cute! I take one to the groomers with me when Lacey gets groomed and the groomers all love them. I'm not very good at putting them in yet but I am getting better. Just takes a lot of patience. For the past almost 3 weeks Lacey hasn't had one in her hair. She was spayed and I let her be. Today she got a bath for the first time since the surgery and after she ran to her "Daddy" and hid behind him. You would have thought I was trying to kill her with the bath. So I didn't even try the bow today, but tomorrow we go back to our old grooming routine. Guess I shouldn't have gotten out of the routine but I figured with the surgery I would let her rest. I had her clipped short before the surgery so I haven't had to brush and comb her on a daily basis. Do miss the longer hair and it is finally starting to grow in but it has been easier to take care of her hair. She is 7 months old and she just loves to play and get her hair messy.
