WELCOME!!!!!!!!!! Your baby is precious

Maggie's ears were floppy when I first got her but I taped them for 24 hours and they went straight up. they flopped again while teething but they are up again...no help this time. so, if you want them up, the tape really does work. I do find that I have to keep maggie's shaved. I shave them every 2 weeks and it helps. if too much hair gets on them, the start to fall a bit but for the most part, they are UP

she does put them down when she is being submissive tho. when she meets new people or new animals, they are down, then once she gets comfy, they are back up. SOOOOO funny. she is so much like a cat in the sense that her ears follow whatever she is listening to

i think it's great.

congrats and good luck with your baby...hope to see more pics soon

What a cutie pie! My new babies ears aren't up yet either, but I'm gonna wait a while to tape them. I'm scared I'll do it wrong!

VickiesMomma · 04-04-2007, 05:11 PM

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Oh my gosh I love her! My Sasha is almost 4 months and her ears just now stood up, I shaved them with a little trimmer (not bald, but you know, really short) and they were up in a week or so. I didn't care if they were floppy, but then one stood up so I figured I better get the other one up, too. I chose not to tape them and if they never stood up it wasn't a big deal, Sasha hates her bows and her collar and any clothes, so I figured she'd hate tape too. Your Vickie is beautiful!!!

Thanks for all the tips and advice. Vickie lets me put clothes on her. I hope when she is a bit older she allows bows. I want to wait for her to have more hair. hehe
