persian ownership: a never-ending side quest of eye wiping

I adore Olive, but some days I feel like I co-parent a very soft tissue issue. We're doing the warm water pads, vet checked the eyes, no infection. Just... face architecture. Anybody find a routine that is less gross at breakfast time?

'face architecture' made me laugh because yes, that is exactly what it is.
