Go through a phase called the "puppy uglies" when their fur has a strange growing pattern. Some hair comes out really long or really short, and some get bald spots that come and go while the coat fills out. She went through all of that. She's finally getting her full coat, and she's really beautiful.

Thanks for your reply. I wish you could see her in person, Keepthesoulalive. She loves to snuggle and give kisses. ❤️
