Hi...running on short time supply, so will make this short and sweet :-) EARS: Ears stand at different rates as different chis mature at different rates. It is no different than humans, some grow up faster than others :-) Some late bloomers may not stand until a year or so...some early bloomers will stand before they are weaned. Expect them to stand and fall and do a yo yo dance before they stand permanently...and don't worry if one day their perfectly standing ears are flopped down, lol. If they have EVER stood, they will stand again. Don't worry until they are at least a year old.
pottying on the carpet.....some do it because they like the feel of the carpet, lol....it feels better than on a slick surface where it runs to their feet and gets their feet wet. Also, could be early signs of marking territory, lol can't help with clothes, mine go nude, lol Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is. ----- Original Message ----- From: Beth McDermott To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 1:45 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Chi Puppy Questions I am a new mommy to an 8 week old chi puppy. He is the cutest thing ever! I do have a few questions and don't really know where to go to get answers, so this seems like a great place to start! 1. Bud has floppy ears now, will they always be floppy or will they eventually stand up? 2. He is pretty much paper trained but he piddles one or two drops on the carpet only, not on the tile or the wood floor, any ideas why? 3. I am looking for a little football/baseball jersey for him because it is still kind of cold here, is there a good place to look for one online? Once I can get a good picture of him, I will try to post it here for all of you to see...he really is one of the cutest chihuahua puppies I have ever seen. Maybe I am a LITTLE biased! Thanks for your help, Beth
