A Tale of Ears

We don't know why there was such a drought of blog posts. Maybe Toko was embarrassed about his ears. On sunny Tuesday, November 6, here he is with puppy ears.

 At twelve weeks old on November 7 I woke up to find a puppy who looked like he was about to take off in search of the flying nun. I was very excited and thought those ears would be straight up within days.

But shucks, folks, her he is, two weeks later, on Thanksgiving Day, still with 'flying nun' ears.

The next day we went to Grandma Kim's. She put tape on my ears. Ugh. (Really, it wasn't that bad.)

But! It worked! After wearing that silly head-dress for just three days mommy ripped it all off of me (yeah, I yipped a lot, but it it came off fast!) and WOW! Real Corgi ears!

It's been a week and they are still up. (We thought they might melt or something).

Other Toko news:
Puppy training classes started -
Only there were no other puppies, so we went to big dog beginner training.
There is a wonderful older rescue lab/newfoundland mix named Marley who is a big teddy bear.
And there is a hyper Brittany Spaniel named Jett who is learning to be less hyper.

Puppy Romp -
We went to the first one of these on Sunday. Oodles of puppies, including sister Lily. Lily is quite the alpha pup. Toko ended up in a group for quiet pups while Lily ran around herding everything she could find with four legs. Next week Lily will be on a road trip with her parents and Toko can try puppy romp on his own. He really isn't a quiet puppy, but he was intimidated by his sister and all the riotous pups. The quiet pups just sniffed one another. Even that was good for Toko, since he didn't bark at any of them. It was a very peaceful puppy gathering, not much of a romp.
