But yeah as long as you use masking tape or like medical tape it won't pull their hair out when you untape them. You can also try shaving the ear hair so the weight doesn't bring them down, and massaging the base of their ears could help exercise the muscles they need to strengthen to keep them up.

Taping ears does feel funny to them at 1st but they get used to it. So glad all went well for his 1st night home. You are rite, they are like wind up toys, lol
Forgot to say, the ears will go up & down as they go through teething too.

You might want to give it some time and Milo might just raise his ears naturally.

Milo looks almost identical to my little Morkie baby (9 weeks). Is Milo a pure bred Yorkie or a morkie too? Hes adorable! Cute pics!

I would try thinning the fur on the tips of his ears and giving him a little bit of plain yogurt every day or every other day. The added calcium will help give some strength to the cartilage in his ears. He is still young so they could go up on their own but at this point a little encouragement can't hurt.

I think he is a purebred, I saw both the parents and they are both registered. I was joking with my oldest son and told him Milo looks like a Rottweiler.

I think that's good advice.

Milo is gorgeous!!! Enjoy!

I have a Morkie and love her so much. She was taken from her home at 8 weeks (we did not know about all the crap until later) I got her at 10 weeks, we took her outside and she loved it from day 1. We gave her lots of attention and love...she has turned out to be a GREAT little puppy and we have so much fun! She is a rough and tumble little one....

I have a close friend that is our Vet and she says all puppies should be as well adjusted as Bella.

Milo is adorable and will definitely give you a little grief now and again...but don't they all!!!

The LOVE makes it all worth it!
