| Still Hope? I'm still hopeful that Bentley will get them ears up there...we haven't taped in a while but may try again. He is about 6.5mos. and still teething. I know alot of people say that if they aren't standing by 6mos never will, but then again they say that the ears drop @ teething so??? Here's a bit of comparison... Pic 1: 15wks - Day after we brought him home, I'd just trimmed his ears Pic 2: 17.5wks - The night we took the tape off his ears (1st taping) Pic 3: 26.5wks - Taken the other night...they seem to be getting higher Pic 4: 26.5wks - His left ear will stand for a bit occasionally, the very tip tries to lay backwards...his right ear seems to be a bit weaker bit will also come up for a very brief bit. WHat do you all think?? It is also interesting to see how his coloring is changing. If I was to trim him in a puppy cut I think all the black would be gone, but can't bring myself to do it.

| Have you tried to keep his ears clippered all the way down? Sometimes when one of our babies have ears that are not really small, they have to stay shaved to stand.. |

| My Desi ear are finally standing at 11 months.. but, I kept them shaved and taped on and off since I got him. I firmly believe had I not done that her ears would not be standing today.

Not really. I would tape them but when I removed the tape, in about 2 days they would go down again.. But, I kept doing it.. and finally, at 11 months, her ears are finally up and staying up.

| It isn't going to hurt to tape again but I think they're really cute with a little flop. You could also try Instant Carnation on his food and massaging. |
