Stan the Windmill

Great bone, mom!
OK, we are taking Stan the Man to the vet today. Since we got him on 2001 when he was 18 months old, he has always been an ear groomer. He loves cleaning anyone's ears, including yours if you don't watch it! He has been known to pin down other dogs and forcefully and vigorously clean their ears. He truly enjoys it! And of course his own ears are always sparkly clean!

Mmm... Sun and wind!
So it didn't register for quite some time that he was spending a lot of extre time grooming his ears all of a sudden, after all, this is normal for him. Then one night after he had shaken his head for the hundred time, letting his ears flop around like a windmill or a helicopter in high gear (in the middle of the night) I took a look inside his ears to see what was going on. Something definitely do not look right in there, so we are going to the vet to have it looked at. Poor thing! Hopefully no more "helicoptering"...
