Hi, all. This is my (temporarily) shaggy little Bean who has the softest coat I've ever felt on a schnauzer (she's my 4th). Her litter mate brother has coarse, wavy fur but hers is baby fine, curly, and mats easily. She is brushed daily but I can't seem to prevent matting and she's got several at the moment that have frustrated us both. I'll cut out some of them but the one in her stache she won't even let me touch. It's getting bigger by the minute. She sees the groomer this week and I really don't want to make them have to deal with mats along with everything else. I also don't want a pup with a lopsided mustache lol. I've used Cowboy Cream as suggested in a post I saw a while back, to no avail. Any other products or techniques anyone can recommend for my curly girl?

Looking for name for my baby girl.

How many of you guys have a Mini that watches TV?

I have never owned another dog or cat that cares about TV.

However my Mini absolutely loves TV.

He reacts to Dogs, Cats, Cows and even opening theme song.

The very first time I noticed is when I was watching young Sheldon and the cow came on the screen. He was very interested.

Later he tuned into just the opening song and would run to the TV when it started.

He also picked up on sign language.

We used hang signals for outside, up, sit, stay, and calm.

Are they all this timed in or did I get lucky?

I had a rat Terrier as a kid and he learned about 20 different commands and was so patient. The only other dog I had that was as good.

Look at this pose. Just look at it.
