I’m suffering from premature balding. It’s not nice being called “baldy boy” by those who are supposed to care for you and provide comfort and support. It could be said that I don’t have a very tactful family. True, I have a few lightly covered areas on my body, but we can’t all be hairy can we? I would look silly with a very hairy chest and just think how muddy it would get, though it’d be nice to have a bit more hair on my chest I admit; it can be a bit chilly at times. You know they say that people start to look like their pets after a while; well, I think it is working the other way with me as I’m starting to get a bald patch on my head just like P. I don’t know why I’m losing my hair, particularly on my head, though I reckon P has a bald patch as he’s always lying down and he’s rubbed the hair away.
T is concerned and even the vet noticed straight away that I am going a little thin in places so I now have to go and see a dermatologist. Dread to think what they will do to me, just as long as I don’t have to wear a toupee or worse still have a hair transplant. I’ve seen the adverts and I don’t want to look like Shane Warne, blond just wouldn’t suit me.
From a girl dog's perspective we can't really comment as we don't really take notice of how much hair a dog has, we just like to sniff at sometimes rather personal areas so we are told off quite alot about that.
Daffy here by the way. Trubble is always being taken to the poodle parlour to have a cut and blow dry but I'm quite lucky as I don't grow so much hair so don't have to go there, although I did have the indignity of having half my chest wig shaved off today so the vet could stab a needle into me to take huge quantities of blood to be tested. Apparently I am jaundiced so am awaiting the outcome of the tests.
A cat person who lives out in the hay store has lots of bald spots but the vet says there's nothing wrong, Catty person is quite happy about it and definitely doesn't want to be blond and anything's better than looking like Shane Warne.
