I have recently adopted a one year old MALTESE AND SHE IS THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE, BUT SHE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GROOM...SHE THINKS IT IS PLAYTIME, AND WILL NOT COOPERATE AT ALL. I WANT TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER, but I am 81 years old, and she can be a handful...Can anyone offer suggestions...I don't really think she minds the hairbrush, but is just so full of energy, and won't cooperate..

I would suggest putting your Maltese in a puppy cut. This is what I do with my dog - the brushing is much less and they are frankly a lot more comfortable. Enjoy your friend. My maltese has been an incredible companion to me and my mom who is in her 80's.

I HAVE A 5YEAR OLD MALTESE. ITS HARD TO MAINTAIN HER CLEAN AND WELL GROOMED. I PREFER TO TAKE HER TO THE GROOMERS EVERY 3 MONTHS. SO MUCH EASIER.
