On the hair that breaks off over their eyes - I just kept the topknot more forward till the long hair grew in - The picture of Cheri shows how forward I had her bow - that helps keep the hair from their eyes....then as the hair gets longer - move the bow back to between the ears...

the 2nd pic of Chanel shows where I Trimmed - it was my first time trimming her eye hair - but man - it opened her eyes right up and is easy to keep up with. I only trim them about every 2 weeks

These are what I took to the groomer - I do my own now cause no one really listens to me LOL - but here they are if you need some guides....

Shave Top 1/3 of ears
Pluck inside the ear
Sanitary cut on tummy
Shave a LITTLE on their butt - no Baboon Butts !!!
Shape feet and trim under them
Clip nails – carefully
Check Anal Glands – IF you trust the groomer

Tell the Groomer - Cut as per YOUR direction - not what they think looks good ....Type it up and TAKE IT WITH YOU

GOOD LUCK !! I hope this helps ! Time will be the only thing that makes the hair grow....Alot of people do NOT trim the eye hair - it's just a matter of personal preference.....I'm sorry she has allergies - Being itchy is no fun - poor baby !!!
Villette,

Do you trim just those hairs close to the eyes that want to poke them in the eye? Or do you trim them all off the top of the nose? Ollie's are getting really bad, and I have to put her bow real low also.
