I check Mickey's ears for a smell and I look inside regularly. Like if I'm holding him up, I sneak a smell of his ear. Lol. It doesn't stink and the vet said we shouldn't have to worry about doing his ears. We have cleaned them once though, with a face cloth or something. I forget.

LOL! i wish I could just do once a month. But weekly isn't too bad. I have to make sure I brush everyday to keep it tidy until our big weekly grooming. If I miss a couple days, his hair is a mess (kind of like mine when I wake up).
Oh God, you guys should see Mickey's fur when he wakes up. He's starting to get the hair behind his ears and when he gets up, it's all sticking out, it's too funny.
