Liftoff is starting, but don't get discouraged if they go back down. Their ears can go up and stay up or can go up and down and up and down, untill they are 5 or 6 months old. That is usually when they are done teething.

So is that what the ears look like when 'liftoff is starting' usually? Check out Kaiya's at 10 weeks...stood up for 1.5 weeks like this pic. The 2nd pic is yesterday at 13 weeks old. Thoughts??

Oh good!

I was curious, why do both ears stand erect when she's really focused on something? Seems like if she's chasing something (like the flirt pole) or doing clicker training - they both stand erect. As soon as she relaxes - the ears relax. Is there a connection?

Untill they get through the teething stage, they can go thru many stages with their ears. Hang in there, if they have been up once they most likely will go up again.
