dang do the ears come with the hat?

yes, but I made it all so the ears are removable ... so the hat can be worn and look just as stylish on those with ears on the side of head as on those, like my kind, with ears on top of the head, or the ears could be used with some other hat I might make in the future.

Several of my pups think it's the greatest hat ever, so I'll probably be making several more. My mate said, "I need to talk to you about something, but I can't take you seriously with that hat on." She seemed to get over it by the end of the day, though. Still, I don't think I'll ever get her in fuzzy animal ears, which is a shame, because she'd really be cute.

That's too cool man. sounds like you have an awesome family :3

I'm proud of 'em .... they're a pretty awesome bunch ... and they put up with my eccentricities. :-D
