Wow I never realized that I was suppose to be trimming Baileys eyelashes. I feel really dumb right about now.

Thanks Deb,
I was not sure if this is something everyone does. Bailey is getting groomed tomorrow. Now I am starting to think should I just leave them as they are since that's how I have always kept them or should I get them cut?

I have to report back here to say, second day of no rubbing head after tying topknot. I am pretty sure the problem was his eyelashes getting caught.

Maybe it's different for every dog? If it doesn't bother your dog it might not matter.

To me, Cici's eyelashes feel a lot like her hair, except maybe a little stiffer? And they don't curl

I think I got it though, she hasn't rubbed her top knot

This is brilliant topic Daisy's always gets caught but didn't think you could trim them would be afraid to go too short though

I did as others suggested and trimmed to "human length", and I feel better about it because I feel they are the perfect length to still protect her eyes, without being so long that it gets caught in her top knot or droops down on her eyes. It also makes her eyes really stand out now, we're liking this so far.
