You guys are lucky that your vets aren't maniacs! At our last visit our vet said "I want you take make an appointment with the opthamologist for Layla to have eye surgery because her eyes are droopy" HELLO! She's a BOXER! That's what they have!
Tony (our JRT x) has really bad stains under his eyes (he's pure white). I know this sounds silly, but I think they suit him. They give him this haggard "I've been up all night partying and my mascara is running" look and if you knew Tony you would know that "look" suits him to a tee. In fact, without them he doesn't look quite himself.
