| ![]() HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!!!! yay!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As for the ears, I'm thinking it's too late too, but you can try. And it's pretty simple once you have read up on it, so I wouldn't be too worried about hurting her. Good luck!! She's precious floppy-eared or not!

| ![]() Yes, you can still try taping. Use a bit of thin cardboard paper, then use some duct tape to wrap it around their ears. It won't hurt them and it's worked for many! Good luck! ![]() |

| ![]() I had a yorkie who had floppy ears. I shaved them and taped them when she was a puppy, but it just wasn't meant to be. They say if you tape their ears, by six months you still have a chance. Her being a year old, her ears probably will stay floppy. Some yorkies ears are just to long or heavy. Although I was dissapointed at first that my yorkie's ears never went up, I still love her the same, and learned to love her floppy ears. There are alot of yorkies with floppy ears and they look just as cute if not more, than a yorkie whose ears are up. |

| ![]() Awwww, the floppy ears are so cute. My Gizmo had them. I just thought his ears were too big to stand up.

| ![]() I taped my Petey's ears when he was young and managed to get ONE to stand up. Now he has one floppy and one up, he's so cute!
