Shiva so rarely has both ears forward that we usually go crazy with the treats when she does. She just looks so freaking cute! I’d love to get it on cue.
On Monday night I happened to have the camera close by and tried to take as many photos as I could. The lighting was crap but that hardly matters.
Shiva’s ears are her expression-meter. I can usually tell how she is feeling by checking out their position on her head. Forward like this typically means intense focus, such as when she spots another dog or a bird. It’s hard to capture.
I have no idea what caused her ears to sit this way during this particular moment. Maybe she’s finally figured out that extreme cuteness equals food?
Shiva looks all grown up with her ears perfect. Very demure and lady like.
I have the same “problem” with Georgia. When her ears are forward, I think she looks more like a Ridgeback. I kind of like them silly and floppy myself!

The bottom one is absolutely fatally cute. I had to be resuscitated after looking at it.

So cute! Shiva has a totally different look with two flopped ears! I love wonky-ears! When the wind is JUST right or when Shayne tilts her head JUST right or if she is SUPER excited, her right ear stands up and i LOVE it! Like you, I snap as many photos as possible with her ear up because it’s just so cute!

Nice ears Shiva. My sister had “prickly” ears for a sheltie because mom and dad let them grow in naturally rather than glue them down.

She is so very cute with both of her ears forward! And the head tilt…that’ll get me every time.

Just when I thought Shiva couldn’t get any cuter, you pull out the ace in your pocket. Adorable!!

The muscular system in a dog’s ears is remarkable. They seem to run directly to the brain. Love the photos.

Shiva is always adorable, but I too love the ears forward. I’m always trying to catch our dogs that way because I just love it!

I do like this look on her! We are also trying to see if we can cue Miss M’s “Elvis Lip”, and go similarly crazy with the photos whenever she does show it off.
Shiva does look really cute with her ears so perfect like that, and it shows off her ‘angelic’ face! Having said that – she looks cute any darn way!

Shiva is looking great everyday right? I love her ears so much.

She looks like a puppy – adorable.
Shiva is adorable like that. It’s like, “I am listening to EVERY word you are saying!” – I wouldn’t be surprised if she had realised that forward ears = food, she’s pretty smart, and food driven
On a different note… i got a ‘new post’ email today from you that I’m thinking might have not been meant? or the post disappeared after the link was sent, I don’t know. Did you entitle a post, ‘Throwing Myself to the Wolves -
Soliciting Diet Advice’, and then either get rid of it or have the internet swallow it up?

LOL – seems to have been an “ear-y” Wednesday. And I am constantly struck by how similar Shiva and Bella are – Bella’s ears only do on very specific occasions. And I love it when they do.

She’s channeling her inner Lab, perhaps? (I made that up, since I don’t really have a clue whether she has any inner Lab.)
She certainly is adorable, though!
