Hey, I was trimming the hair around Uni's lady parts into a pee string and I didn't even know it! I sort of shape it into a point and it does help with guiding the pee straight off. But another problem is that while she pees she slightly lifts up her right leg and kind of rotates on her left, thus dragging her hind leg hair though the puddle. So I have to keep the back of her legs clipped short, even though i am trying to grow out her hair. So she's got a graduated bob look going on. But, I have found the new pads they carry at Walmart are more absorbent than the Out! brand they used to carry, so the pee swipe is less now.
