Me too! After I would take Cassie to the groomer she wouldn't let me touch her ears for days! Whenever I tried pulling the hair out myself, she would act like it hurt plenty. I remember the vet saying that after a while it stops hurting them because the roots got more shallow and thin but I said "no more!" I have the groomer clip them on her and Adie both now. I check all three dogs from head to toe every day and have never had a bit of trouble.
