| Well, I tried controlling that hair with gel, but it didn't work. So I just cut it. I hate it when that hair gets in their eyes. It makes their eyes water and I just hate it. I get some blunt-tip scissors and get hubby to hold them and just cut it off. |

| If you cut it, then you'll have to KEEP cutting it. If you give it a little more time to grow out, it will all be pulled back into her ponytail. I'm at the same stage as you with my Ruthie - the breeder shaved her nose down so now all those little hairs are growing out and sticking out all over. You can always try moving the ponytail forward more to get some of those shorter pieces or use those little clips that everyone uses.

| My new groomer was telling me this weekend that you shouldn't really cut the hair between their eyes unless you want to keep it short. She also explained that some of the hairs actually need to be plucked out. I'd never heard of that before, so I'm not sure what the reason is. I keep Chloe's short, but plan to let Darla's grow out for a top knot. Guess this one will be a wait and see for me. Good luck to you! |

| The groomer that I take Josie to cuts the hair. I think it looks good because then you can see her beautiful eyes and it doesn't poke her so her eyes don't water and she doesn't get tear stains.

| I have my groomer clip that little bit of hair that gets in their eyes too. She is much happier and I don't always have to be brushing it away. I thought about growing it out, but it's really only a few strands..

| i also cut Rockys They stick straight into his eyes and it bothers, i know when i have an eyelash in my eye it feels like i am being stabed so i could imagine how he feels with the hair poking in his eyes. I wanted to let it grow so i can pull it up but i know it bothers him in the growning stage. So i just grab a scissor and cut it low.....
