Your concern about tearing is a true concern. We have no problem. Maggie being black does not, but was recommended to me. She quickly calms down and we have no problem with jumping. She trained easily. She begs from my husband when he is eating. She is spoiled, but we like her that way. She sleeps at my feet when we go to bed and she does want it everynight. I really would like to have a 2nd but my husband says l is enough. I will keep working on it though.
We have no regrets at all. Any eye wash will do as long as it has COLLYRIUM in it.
