Hair growth progress

[tokipoke]

Louis is looking slightly like a mess... we have been busy traveling this weekend. He had fun RLH in the hotel room. I have started to band his hair in double bands. He's managing to keep them in!

I got another comment last week about his size. My friend said "This is the perfect size dog. If I had a dog, I would want him to be like this" while pointing to Louis. She continued, "NOT like this size.... this horse..." while she tried to shove my poodle's head out of her face. My poodle is very big for a standard anyway. As we drove home from our trip and Louis laid in my lap sleeping, my husband said "You really love his size, huh?" I said how I sometimes wish my poodle was Louis's size lol. But then that would mean I'd have a mini poodle. I love poodles, but some of the minis feel very dainty. I love how solid and sturdy Louis feels.

Louis's hair is so long around his eyes, that he can't go without bands now. I thought about letting his hair down this weekend but his hair completely covered his eyes. He looked like Cousin It!

ADORABLE! hey, now he can join in on the "cousin Itt" thread we started awhile back!!

wow...I just went back and looked at the picture of him on the very first post when you shaved him down...doesn't even look like the same dog! he is just so darn sweet.

Reading on my iPhone can be a pain so I skipped from first page to page 11...total different dog!
Love the bands. I am trying those some on Bama and don't have the hang of it yet. Found mini scrunchie type ones are easier than the plain rubber ones. Will have to take pictures.

He looks terrific!! And, what a good sport he's been!

The bangs are getting long and making Louis look like a mess! He's really not that dirty but looks like he's been living on the streets.

I posted a pic of his underside. The hair is getting long and you can see yellow spots where the pee has been hitting the hair. There's a spot close to his chest, on the sides of his penis, and on his inner thighs. He has very good aim, it's just that the hair is getting long! I used thinning shears to take those areas a tad shorter.
