Indy gets her ears cleaned every week. I smartened up and decided to do it pre-walk. By the time the walk is over, she's forgotten her person attacked her, and doesn't run away every time I move. After hearing those stories, I'm glad I keep on top of it. Magic Markers are known for ear infections, and whether or not I'm helping keep that at bay, isn't the point. It's the fact that I'm there monitoring it all closely, and if anything is amiss, it's off to Doctor Hover.
