Thanks! Its tough.Originally Posted by Jamie-n-Heith
Yep, my dobie is show cropped as well. I'm so glad your still posting themI was going to hurt you if you weren't
They look gorgeous though! The one thing I will say is don't give up!!!! It will be totally worth it if you just keep at it. I wish I lived by you! I actually miss posting ears! I did it so darn much my week just isn't complete anymore
Did they show you a really easy way to post them? Hopefully they did! Do you use baby oil to get the tape off? If the ears started falling 3-4 days after I took off the postings I put them back up. Don't freak out about her laying on them and ruining them, like in the first picture, that will still happen long after you're done posting. And if you ever mess up one week and screw one of them up, don't beat yourself up over it. I freaked one week and was so upset with myself for leaving them taped up when they weren't quite perfect. They were fixed after another week of posting. No big deal
Sorry if you already know all of this and are familiar with posting. I just hate seeing people with lopsided dogs because they gave up. I actually had the guts to ask most of the dobie owners I met around here and they did admit to giving up. I've met four dobies at the dog park and all four of them only have one good ear!!! Don't give up!!!
Hee hee. I've never done this before so any advice is awesome! They kind of showed us how they did it but when we tried at home they kept falling off right away
. I looked up other ways and after some trial and error we figured it out. She still gets them off though
. It seemed like the athletic tape was just not sticking. Is it ok to use some other, stronger tape? So its been like one or two days up and then a few days down. Her left one still wont stand up unless she is alerted. How did you do it? Did your dog leave them alone? Plus, our Boston thinks they are toys. Uggg.
