When we got Reggie and took her to the vet for the first time, I asked about her teary eyes because I was concerned that there might be something wrong. He suggested keeping the hair trimmed around the eyes. He told me if you're not intending on showing, trim away. It sure helped Reggie. It's funny though, some of her pups have had the same problem with the fine hairs around the eyes and watering and others didn't. Not only did I trim around the eyes, I kept the top of her nose cut short. She's no longer with us. It's been eight long days since she passed over Rainbow Bridge.
