Thanks for your reply and so right about the how to videos! They all say to shave their ears. I have a peanut shaver and I did shave some of the hair I just am to apprehensive to go the distance, ears are so tiny!
Couple of weeks ago I nicked Miss Minis ear, dear lord she let out a yelp and blood was flying as she shook her head, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack! Turns out it was a small tiny nick..

She forgave me and I promised I would never do it again!
