How bad could it really be? You are not showing the baby right?? I cut all 4 of mine. In the summer I just shave them down. The face I just put my hand around their snoot, pinky by the eyes, then i just take a scissor and trim in a circle around my thumb and forefinger. I snip up each side of their ears. I do their feet with a scissor being careful not to cut the little webbing between the toes. And that's it. They love to be cooler in the summer. After that I just trim their feet and snoot and eyes for the rest of the year. It really isn't that bad and I save a ton of money. No matter what you do to them they are still adorable and could never look bad!!
