Up, down, up down...EARS.

I swear, if Mobil's ears actually end up standing, I will laugh my ass off at all the shit I've done to his ears to get them to stand.

Here's yesterday:

Here's a little while ago:

To which I said, "Nice ear, Mobe!" and he proceeded to look smug:

Then I asked if they wanted to go out. Down they went, and also Turbo wants you to know that she is a pretty little girl:

Mishka's ears are all over the place too. At almost 5 months of age, half the day they're up and half the day they're down and sometimes each ear takes a turn. A vet friend told me that by 7-8 months if they're not up you could give them a little encouragement by placing mole-skin (the Dr. Scholls blister prevention padding) on the inside of her ears to help splint her ears up...I thought it was a great cheap idea that you can get at any drug store.
Just some simple peel and stick stuff

Oh, I've done everything.

Tampons and tape, moleskin, breathe right strips, paper towel roll, and ear forms with leather glue. And gelatin supplements.

He's a year old so I quit messing with them. It's just hilarious that they're starting to go up more often now since he's over a year old.

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612
