Lazy Ears

Furfriends, you all know that Chewy is 100% certifiably a Chihuahua, but he is not your average Chi. Chi's are supposed to be around 5 to 6 pounds (that is the standard) but Chewy weighs around 12 pounds!! Also, he is very big for a Chi too. And the other thing that makes him different from Moi, your standard Chi, is that he has floppy ears!

No, they do not stand at attention like they're supposed to, they flop over. Mom said that when he was a puppy, his ears did stand straight up for two weeks, but then they flopped back down and have stayed down ever since. Mom calls them "Lazy Ears" because they are too lazy to stand straight up, BOL!

Butt....when Chewy is sleeping and his ears are sleeping too, they sometimes forget they're supposed to be floppy and...they stand straight up! And look, I have proof of this phenomenon!!

Exhibit 1: Chewy is fast asleep, butt his ears are sticking straight up.

Floppy ears, a little extra weight, eh. How could anyone look at you and think anything other than how cute you are? We're not perfect either and mom loves us all the more for it. :)

I have floppy ears and I weigh in at 10.4 pounds. However, I am not 100% chihuahua certified. Only 50% Chi and 50% Schnauzer..It's ok..our floppy ears and big boy sizes just makes us stand out from the rest..Cause we're special like that right? BOL!

Chi Kisses,
Avery

I think Chewy keeps his ears up when he's sleeping so he doesn't miss out on Anything!

So cute! My Shiver is a big chi too. Big as in tall. The last time he was at the vet, he weighed in at 10 pounds. I thought I'd get a lecture from the vet but he didn't say anything.

aww, that's so cute! I have a chi/terrier mix that sometimes she will only get one ear up and the other stays down...so silly, but I love her anyways...my Bella has very large ears for a puppy, but when she sleeps, so do her ears and once she's up, so are her ears. lol

Is there a labrador hiding in there somewhere?

Nothing wrong with floppy ears! And nothing wrong with stickyuppy ones either!

Happy Tuesday
