just...go UP!!

So, Sheldon's always had his floppy left ear, save for about 2 weeks when he went through the teepee stage. after that, his ear has been down almost constantly. Lately, it seems like he's putting it up more and more, but usually only for a few minutes at a time. If he's playing with other dogs, he'll keep it up while he's playing, and for a while afterwards (sometimes hours). He's 7 months old (jesus, where does the time go?!!?). Should I try to give him some help with breathe right strips and glue, or do you think I could tough it out and let it come up on its own? =/

At 7 months, definitely start doing something now.

So, did the breathright strips tonight..first time, I messed up a little, so we use a a little goo be gone to get the first set out and re-did it...this time, I think I got it right...woot!!

First time...after we were done, he wanted to snuggle =3

Second go round...looks about right!
