    Default Ears and raw.

    Miss Willow has long ears.. so long you can wrap them around the end of her nose, LOL. When she drinks, eats etc she gets them all nasty.. should I tie them up when she eats, or just wipe them daily?

    Try make cover thingies for them!!

    The cutest ones I've seen where made by a bassett breeder who said they were SUPER easy!!

    I think they are called "snoods" or something like that!!

    I have two Weims who have notoriously long ears and they often dangle in the food and water bowl. Being I have two they just clean each others after they eat, what you need is more dogs! Lol!

    Until you get her a proper snood, you could just use a soft scrunchie for mealtime at least
