Never go deeper into the ear than your eye can see. Not recommended to use Q-tips. Be very careful and gentle if you do.
Roxy's ears stand straight up, all the time too, unless she decides to put them back. Which she does at times if conditions are not perfect. IE: Wind, rain, no cookies left in her cookie jar.

I most likely will not pluck them anymore but will clean his ears regularly.. Unfortunately I might not be able to clean them with a qtip as he moves a lot! But maybe eventually he will get used to it and will allow me.. until then will do it with a tissue and lotion.
