I should have said "push" that pocket out. Syd In a message dated 11/30/2008 11:03:04 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, Elsyd1@xxxxxxx writes: This is a worst case scenario...the darn pocket. I glue something very stiff on the inside of the pocket, pushing it outward, then glue a large roller on top of the stiffening, tilt the ear outward, and tape it tilting outward. Pull that pocket out! Someone suggested gluing a Breath Right strip into the ears, might be a good idea to add glue to the strip, and use it on the bulging inside pocket, then the roller, then tape outward.

Pulling them toward the middle of the head can often help get them centered. The longer the ears are in tape, generally the better the result. If the ears are taped dead center, and they start to lean to the middle, the tape should be removed, and the ears allowed to settle for a few days, then retaped.

Or, the owner being dang pi**ed that the ears are not standing and taping them inwards, ( thinking that THAT will fix them! ) which of course is wrong?
