I loved what you said about loving our Yorkies no matter what.  I had a small girl "Mi" who passed away on December 1.  Her ears were up and she was the cutest little thing.  Then Skooter came as a gift after she died.  He's a big boy who weights 9.1 lbs. and he's entering his 8th month.  He tries to stand them and they half stand and half flop.  But he's so silly and funny, I think his ears go with his personality.  I adore him as is.
