Shedding

[nakita]

i just got my Valentino aka as "V"

and he is shedding already

is it time for him to shed already

if they're shedding they're growing.. the more they shed the faster they grow. The younger they are, the more they shed. Shedding is a happy experience.. not neccessarily for them (itchy and irritable) but we're always excited to see it!
