I've been taping Jesse for only 2 1/2 weeks. I had to keep changing them cause the posts kept popping out. Finally I got the hang of it and they were in there for about a week before i changed them again (he got them wet). This time I ran out of tape! I bought so much different tapes before we started posting i just didnt keep track of how much of what i was using I only had cloth tape and I wasn't comfortable putting this on his ears so I decided to just leave them down until i went to the pharmacy. Considering I live an hour away from the nearest town it was three days until I got to go. But during these three day Jesse's ears stayed perfectly straight!! There was no curly tips and no bending, no floppy to the side. Just perfectly straight! I was extremely happy considering that i had problems during the healing stages. Needless to say as soon as I got the tape i put them up right away. I heard that leaving them down for more than a day equals another week of taping I hope that i'm part of the lucky crowd that their dogs ears stay up after a few months. Keeping my fingers crossed

Unfortunately i didn't take any pictures! Even though I was excited I've heard countless stories about the teething stages so they're back up in tapes.
His crop is about medium I'd say. Definitely not long. He's a happy camper in those tapes so I won't be taking the tapes off for another week and I don't think i'll let them down for a full three days again even if they do stay up lol. When i take them off next week i'll definitely post pics!
I just wanted to share my joy with someone who would know what i'm talking about! Seeing as i'm the only one in my community with a dog with cropped ears no one seems to understand his ears. It's so annoying when I walk him and people ask me.."what's wrong with him" with this look of pity on their faces.

And I used to tell people we slammed his ears in a door, or that they got torn off and we had to tape them back on. That was AFTER about 4 weeks of really explaining the truth of a crop though. It does get tiring.~ Lisa & Rupert
