Since everyone is talking about ears now, here is Kim's post from last month. I guess Kim posted before her time.

I was showing them to some folks at the Atlanta specialties last weekend and they think they are pretty neat, so I thought I would share here. These "ear forms" come in a pair, one is specifically for the right ear and the other is for the left. They are thin and breathable, yet firm; they go deeper into the ear than the normal pipe insulation things we make for ourselves, so the ears don't need to be bridged - which makes it a lot more comfortable for the puppy and a lot less likely that littermates or other dogs will bother them. Since all you have to do is put glue on the back and stick in the ear - anyone can do it, even novices. The forms are washable and reusable. Linda Bankhead found a place on the web that sells them (link below) but my friend also markets them and her price is cheaper at $24.50 plus she also sells the glue they use in Germany for $8.50. I'll be in Springfield and will have some with me if anyone is interested in seeing them. If you think you might like to buy some, let me know. I hope they help others as much as they helped my puppy. Thanks, Kim http://dogsportgear.com/Dog_Ear_supports.htm BISS Ch.
