Today, I would like to discuss Rippa's stupid ears:
"what YOU lookin' at?"
I have never, in the history of me knowing Aussie puppies, ever seen an ear sit naturally like that one on her left does. The right ear oscillates between the triangle ear, rose, and high triangle, but the left ear is like, "Yo, I am so high, but I fold over. But weirdly, toward the middle of her head. Isn't is awesome?"
No, it is not awesome. I am neurotic about such things. Yishai has agreed to wait a week and if there's no change, the ear glue comes out. I am all for natural, but lack of symmetry is not my favorite. Especially when, despite a crummy bite right now that I'm hoping she'll grow out of, she's got awesome conformation and I would love to get a championship with her if possible. Yishai just wants a WTCh. Just. But I'll take it. :)
Moto, on the other hand, has a weirder problem: he spends 50% of his day with them inside out. I have, again, no idea why.
Emma remains adorable and perfect and will be going to her new home in a week. (YAY!)
This week, the puppies discovered mirrors:
And they all party down:
Rippa is charging her lazer eyes! pew pew ;D
ReplyDeleteRippa's ear is doing what my very first Aussie Trinity's ear did around that same age. I did not have any interest in conformation so I waited 3 weeks, no change and eventually glued it. That ear stayed down (though somewhat higher than the other - I'm a symmetry freak too) for 6 more years but at 7 it is starting to go prick more and more often. Too funny as I've not seen another "comb over ear" since. :)
