The Ears Story

So As I showed you guys a couple of days ago. When I first got Nunu she looked like this:

One ear up and one ear down.
Then about a week later her other ear popped up.

She was a puppy so she was going through a series of shots.
One of the shots she got must have been pretty rough because both of her ears fell.

I thought, "Oh no they broke my dog!"

But they were up again the next day. (Whew!)

And have been up ever since.
Except when they're folded back.

  1. I love when their ears get folded back(:

    Nunu is a cute name for a dog, but if I had one i'd name it Fezziwig

  4. She's so cute! And why is it that big guys always like small dogs?

  5. That is absolutely adorable. I usually go for dogs with floppy ears, but Nunu has changed my opinion!

  6. Jorge,

    The last picture of Nunu is classic! Her eyes seem to be saying 'what the heck is that!'

    :-)

  7. "Oh no, they broke my dog". That was funny. Nunu is a great name. She's a cute little dog, and it makes me laugh to see the photos.

  9. Nunu is velly velly cute.
    Thank you for sharing cuteness, because it promotes peeing in pants, and peeing in pants promotes buying new pants! Maybe we can buy Levis!

    They should hire you as a spokespearson for Levis jeans...
    And Nunu should appear in the commercial too. Big floppy ears make peolple wanna buy more

  12. My kids will love seeing your pictures of Nunu. They have been begging for a dog a lot lately.

  13. I've always wondered if you named her for the chihuahua on the Dog Whisperer. She's a cutie, Jorge.

  14. Oh Jorge, thank you for the giggle. I can always count on you to brighten up my day.

  15. Now just imagine what you'll be like when (if) you have kids. Cute pictures of them all over the blog. =)

    I left you a comment on your Load of Crepe post, but then I realized you probably don't check back that far. So...in short, we went to Crepes No Ka Oi last week just because of that post, and it really was good. They are really nice there, too!

  16. my dog gypsy has both up when she's stressed & then flops on down when everythings okay...maybe nunu is the opposite.

  19. Scout does that when he wants something. :-)

    So, if I'd seen baby Nunu look like that on the day you first saw her, I'd have gotten her, too.

    I am loving these pictures.

  23. As a puppy, my Chihuahua's ears did the same thing. At first they were both floppy. Then one stood up and she was lopsided. LOL. I was a little sad when the other popped up too. Her ears are as big as Nunu's. I'm afraid when the wind picks up, she will fly away!

  24. reminds of Happy...you know from Rudolph's Shiny New Year

  25. We just watched with glee, as our baby Boston Terrier 'Ace' grew into his ears. I totally love the floppy ear action it was so cute while it lasted.

    Nunu is just the bees knees. I so dig her!

  26. Nunu reminds me of Stich from Lilo & Stich - especially in the second photo.

  45. P.S. I know this is completely off topic, but I wanted to give everyone this recipe I found online for Lost fish biscuits!!! I made the dough, colored it, made the template, and carved in the lettering, and they came out tasting great but were always puffier than the ones in the show and the pictures online. Anyway, for best results, go here first:

  46. Oh, my goodness. That is too much cuteness for one post!!

    My dog is part basset hound, and her ears practically dragged against the ground when she was a little puppy. But her ears grew, and she didn't. I kinda miss the length of those puppy ears...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Are those ears or a means to pick up signals from the Chihuahua Homeworld? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  48. She was telling you "I'm going to turn left, follow me"

    ReplyDelete
  49. Augh! Can't handle the cuteness! Nunu is so precious! I don't even know what to do with myself.... seriously. How do you contain yourself? -e

    ReplyDelete
  50. This happens to all chihuahuas. I think I read once that it's due to a temporary calcium deficiency that occurs while they develop their adult teeth. My own theory is that they need a little extra cuteness during that period, which is when they're most likely to chew up everything in the house, so you don't kill them.

    We have a five year old chihuahua and we're in town over in Kaimuki, if you ever wanna have some little dog play time.

  51. how funny that her ears show her true emotions. you can always tell how she is feeling by the way her ears are. ;)

  52. and here i was thinking my boyfriend was the only one folding back ears on our pets! they're cats though. he make them do an 'elvis-lipcurl' sometimes...

  53. Nunu is totally precious. My dog's ears went up and down for the first year and then they stayed with one down and one up for about 8 years. Now he is 10 and all grown up, they both stand up. Here is my little dude:

  56. Awwwww! Too cute! Your doggie totally reminds me of Skippyjon Jones (a little kids book about a Siamese Cat who thinks he's a Chihuahua)

    "My Name is Skippito Friskito.
    I fear not a single bandito.
    My manners are mellow,
    I'm sweet like the Jell-O,
    I get the job done,
    yes indeed-o.
    Yip, Yippee, yippito!"
