| Hair Problems. I take very good care of Ruby's hair and don't want to cut any of it however the hair between her mussel and her eyes covers most of her eyes. I wanted to know if I have to cut that area or if it will settle on the sides of the mussel as she gets bigger. Which is would I would like. Do any of you have this problem or have had it? Should I wait and let it grow more or should I cut it, but i really don't want to as I feel I keep her coat in prestine condition. Thanks. |

I Love Thor Donating Member | I'll take a stab at this (I'm no expert though!) I am letting Thor's hair grow out, but I still cut the hair that pokes up in the corner or his eyes... |

| You can put a tiny bit of Vaseline on the hair, to hold it down out of her eyes. It's actually worse to cut it, because the little hairs stick up into their eyes. Sheila |

| Gosh, natural beeswax sounds like it would be less greasy than Vaseline. Thanks. Sheila |

| Any hints as to where to find natural bees wax? Penny has a problem with the hairs sticking in her eyes, too. It'd be nice to let them grow out. |

| Where to get Bees Wax I get mine at Walmart in the Hair care department. The name of it is Murray's 100% pure Australian Bees Wax.... It seal ends and conditions. You may have to apply it a little more than vaseline, but it is easy to comb through and will keep the hair out of their eyes. It has worked great for me and a little goes a long ways...
