I hate my brush!

Rory on Grooming - Tue, July 31 2007

Does anyone else hate to be brushed? It's not that I hate the brush...I want to chew on it:) Does anyone have any suggestions for my mom on what to try? So far, she's had this metal claw looking instrument with teeth on it (but I just want to chew on it) and a pair of gloves that are supposed to get the extra hair off but they don't work very well. I love when she uses her nails and scratches my sides and back to get the hair off but I guess a brush would be okay too. She keeps muttering that she'll just use the vacuum attachment but I don't think that will work - it's too loud!:)

I dislike being brushed immensely, but mom can get it done if she gives me something to really concentrate on, like a peanut butter kong, or lots of yummy treat while she is brushing. We just got introduced to the Furminator, which has small metal teeth and does a great job, especially with the undercoat. xoxo Sydney

Mom loves the FURminator. She never puts the dumb thing down, for cryin' out loud! I don't like being brushed, period. I whine and fuss the entire time to make mom think that she's killing me.

Uh, Rory-- since your hair is so short, why are you being brushed with a metal brush?? Tell your people to get a soft brush! Sometimes you just gotta tell 'em!!

Thanks for the suggestions...I'll pass them along to my mom:) I am shedding a lot right now and the metal comb thingy is supposed to be good at getting the undercoat out but my fur is so soft that it isn't working well.
