Celebrity Pug Faces First Gray Hairs

Today we have a special guest post from Sheila Appleby Williams,who blogs about the adventures of her celebrity pug, Phoebe Rose, over at A Traveling Pug.

There are two things that this female pug does not like to talk about: her age and going gray.

Well, I can deal with my age (in human years I’m in my fabulous 40′s).  But, going gray in Tinsel Town is a celebrity canine’s worst nightmare!

After quite a bit of on-line research, Mom found out some pugs start getting gray fur as early as 16 months old!  (Okay, I did feel a bit better when I found that out).

Its also worth mentioning that both fawn and black pugs get those “nasty grays” most often under the chin, on their tummies and most embarrassing of all (in the region of their private parts).

Yes, I understand that it can look “distinguished”, but honestly, as a girlie-girl fashion forward canine, I’m not going for that look.

I really try to avoid closeups-under the chin is the most common area

I’ve been noticing a lot more around my “muzzle” (I really don’t like that word)

And under my tail (well, okay, not so noticeable)

I joined Mom at Naimie’s Beauty Center in Studio City (celebs and makeup pros swear by this superstore of beauty supply essentials) and enlisted the help of popular staff member, Henry.

Henry suggested a mascara wand that covers gray and is non-toxic-I’m not yet convinced.

Phoebe Rose is hoping that DogTipper readers might have some words of consolation to share with her or helpful suggestions.
