(They are 22 days old)
Peanut's ears just began to stand up on their own then he was around 3 months (one up & one down - see the pic). About a week or two later they were both up, then both flopped over. I am not an expert on this, but based on my past experience with Peanut I will make sure in the future to have it done before 3 months to help make sure they will come up. 22 days seems early to me - I might wait a few more weeks until they are a little older. Some of the more experienced YTers may have a better idea on that though since I am fairly new to the Yorkie world...
