Hi Liza,

The tail wagging is nothing bad, they are just excited :-) A couple of mine
do it all the time, I think it is so funny to see and hear, LOL.

As for the ear sucking, weaning too early is a definite possibility for this,
but please .. try to nip it in the bud. It is not good for the other ones
ear. Try putting a little Bitter Apple on the ear to discourage the ear
sucking. Don't spray it on, might get some in it's eye, just put a little in
your hand and wipe it on the ear.

Hope this helps,
