WEll I finally got it together to put up an Nora  Avatar--as ya'll can see her ears are totally different.  She is 14 weeks old.  I liked it better when they were both down (like I have a choise).

They keep changing one up and then it goes down and the other visa versa--anyone else have this? Did it resovle-?

cheers

Yep sounds like "Ear Wars" to me too. Amos never had "Ear Wars". They've always stayed buttoned.

gotta love the ear wars! my girls ears never stay up for more than a minute at a time, but they do change from button ears to where just the very tip is bent down...an ever changing process, and they are 1 1/2 yrs old now. I swear their ears change with their moods.

Nora is an absolute Doll!!! Jeter had ears wars to but they have ended up buttoned again and I think they will stay that way. I love them either way. Nora reminds me so much of Jeter and Jolene's Indie.

Maybe at the base of the ears, but not the ears themselves. I had a schnoodle, that the kids in the neighborhood, were always rubbing her fluffy ears, and caused hemotomas, where fluid built up in the outer ears, and the vet had to put macaroni shaped tubes into little slits, he cut into her ears to drain them.
