eyelashes? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jesscruz · 05-14-2005, 12:12 PM

i was wondering if it's okay to trim their eyelashes? coco's lashes are very long and my husband wants to trim them but i told him "wait let me ask on yorkietalk first"!

red98vett · 05-14-2005, 12:18 PM

lol..You tell him !!

I don't trim my girls eyelashes - they have pretty black lonnnnng eyelashes against the gold of their face - and they don't get in their eyes so they stay ~ oh...and I love them - reminds me of Bambi

LvMyYorki · 05-14-2005, 12:22 PM

Oh I love their long eyelashes!

bettyeanne · 05-15-2005, 04:43 AM

Don't they have amazing lashes?!?

Toto's are so long ... I was in a big hurry with her topknot, caught it too low on her face and got her lashes too! Didn't even notice it until I realized she looked more "wide-eyed" than usual!!

Poor baby is soooo patient with me!!

red98vett · 05-15-2005, 04:56 AM

I've done that too ! They look up at you with their eyes all slanted like they just saw something that startled them ..lol...like a quick face lift for yorkies !

I quickly redo the bow ...the eyelashes stay free !

bettyeanne · 05-15-2005, 05:03 AM

Yep! Definitely a "do over" ... it looks painful and I was mortified when I realized what I had done!

It actually made me more mindful of the topknot and the little "ponytails" that I put at the rear to keep her little "skirt" from getting wet when she goes pee pee!

Really ? I would LOVE to see a picture of that - I can't quite picture it in my mind - I usually rely on my trimmer for that... but after doing Chanals hair in a bunch of braids a while ago ...I would LOVE to see bows in other parts of yorkie hair...

bettyeanne · 05-15-2005, 06:40 AM

Found the pics ... they aren't good at all, but kinda gives you the idea of how it goes up with the bands. She was mad and wouldn't hold her tail up like it usually is!! Little BRAT!

Oh No leave them long, there was two things that I told the groomer to leave alone last week, one was the hair on Jack's ears, and the other was his eyelashes. I think they are so beautiful, it was one of the first things I notices when I picked Jack up at 8 weeks old.

jesscruz · 05-15-2005, 10:19 AM

i will leave them long

. i love the rear end pics

red98vett · 05-15-2005, 10:25 AM

I love the butt shots also

- That's a great idea if it's raining out also - I used to HAVE to give Chanel lots of butt baths... but since trimming her 'back there' I haven't had to in a long time - I would have never thought to do ponytails -

bettyeanne · 05-15-2005, 07:54 PM

red98vett ... Sorry! Been out all afternoon taking advantage of the warm, sunny Colorado weather with the top down ... had lots of fun! The Toto had a great time!

The little "tails" are fun and they keep me from having to wash that little butt so many times between baths! I keep her little butt area trimmed to about 1/8" with the scissors rather than clippers. The groomer shaved her there and her little "poopie" area and she scratched like crazy until it grew back some! Poor baby was miserable!

This works really well!

jackandjill & jesscruz ... I didn't mean that I would cut her eyelashes ... those are the least grooming problem I have!

I have been considering a puppy cut for the summer and while she is trying to shed those pesky pounds.

jackandjill · 05-16-2005, 04:41 AM

HI Toto's Mum, I understood what you said and didn't think you were cutting them. Your afternoon in a convertable sounded fabulous. Isn't it great that spring is here, and the babies can learn all these new things, like, what bugs are the most fun to chase, the different noises the birds make that perk up their ears, and their first sights of rabbits, deer, possums etc. We even have an armadilla in our area that Jack watches like a hawk in the morning, (while the little bugger is digging in my Hostas).I need to train him to chase him off, LOL, I know that they are originally bred for rat hunting, but an armadilla would be tough with his armor.
Happy Spring

jesscruz · 05-16-2005, 06:59 AM

i didn't think you were cutting them either

thanks for the pics too cute!

DiOrGiRLy · 05-16-2005, 07:21 AM

BettyeAnne How old is Toto? I hope my Tiny's hair will grow long like her's soon he's only 4 months but I was just wondering when to expect more hair growth
