Sometimes you just can't get ears to do what you want when you want!
Poppets ears came up exactly 1 week before her 1st birthday (which is actually in less than 3 hours- well, her birthmin is really in 14.20 hrs give or take) and I had just accepted the fact that her ears were never going to work- I'd tried Everything up to that point, but was grooming er and decided to thin her ear hair... Maybe she knew I needed a smile

That's my Popp in my avatar- if you look really closely you should be able to see the tip of a wooden coffee stirrer on her ear. I think that is what ultimately got her ears up ( they held them up for a fair while, but then they dropped again) but I don't know, I did try every taping and trimming method out there- the sticks were me and the class trainer(who uses the method with her show collies) grasping at straws... But sometimes, straws need to be grasped!

I did get some crackin' pics of her floppy ears though; I'll upload them once I get to a computer
