he was doing some indoor agility
That's such a sad picture of Della, but I remember how wet a spring it was when we were potty training Della and Hans. They both learned how to use the lee of the house and overhangs to be somewhat comfortable. I think part of that was for our own comfort taking them out in the monsoonsIt's raining hard enough that both of them were ready to melt when I took them out.I think they're very thankful for the 2' overhang we have on the buildings.

My dog is not pure Doberman it is half rottweilerwe will see how she will look like in next couple of months. Also she came from Quebec and I live in Ontario in Quebec it is not legal to do the ears and tail and I am ok to respect it. In Ontario not illegal bit lots of vets do not accept it. (Minus the registered breeders.)
I didn't mean to cut the ears at all. I'm talking about how natural ears can be taped to help them lay flat. He's going to be cute no matter what, but you have a choice at his age on how his ears wind up laying. Rottweiler ear tips lay nowhere near their eyes and neither do Doberman ears. There are several threads here on DCF on how to tape down flyaway ears to make them look more natural.
I agree, @Ingrid H!
It wouldn't hurt to take a look at this thread, @XerxesYoga.
Taping natural ears
Even the best set of ears can do funky things as they are growing. Dobes aren't the only breed that can have their ears taped down, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Boxers and many more breeds have gone through a short process of ear taping with great results.
I would say the majority of dobes have a good natural lay to their ears where as some need a little assistance. Nothing wrong in that.
Teething is the best time to tape down the ears, so if you wanted to start now that would be perfect. It's only a suggestion, @XerxesYoga. Take a look and make a decision yourself.

@Ingrid H @Viemarangelrock actually looks awesome and seem so harmless.
I look into it more later today.
I felt her ears looks more like rottweiler actually but I may try the method and keep you all posted. Thx alot.

Bobcats are cool! We have quite a few of them here and they are bigger than you'd think. In my experience they are rather shy and would much rather avoid you. Once we were walking in a local park that has boardwalks over the water, well we had just started going over one when we saw something trotting steadily at us. Honestly I thought it was someone's dog off leash as it is a popular park for dog walkers, but as it got closer I'm not sure who was more surprised, us or the cat! He got about fifteen feet from us, paused a second, then jumped onto the railing and scaled a thirty foot drop with ease onto the embankment. Very cool! I highly doubt one would ever give you a problem, unless maybe it was cornered or had rabies.
Lovely photos everyone, truly wonderful dogs we have. Xerxes, if it's any consolation my Dobe/GSD pup has some crazy ears and I love them. And his magnificent tail. I left his ears alone because I was hoping the shepherd in him would erect his ears, but they have a mind of their own. That being said they stand up more often than not.

Bear spray, maybe? I mean, if it works on bears, surely it would work on a cat?! I dunno, lol! I'd be running with a gun.
Do bobcats even really go after people? I know mountain lions do. But bobcats? I've never heard of one attacking a person?

We had them in AZ and would usually see them in the spring time when they have kittens. Obviously momma cat will be very protective of babies.

It is not full moon or new Moon I walked her once gave her a bath it is showering outside and cold, she was only alone 3 hours today but super needy like a cat gets jealous of my tablet. Atleast she didn't try to suck at my boob like when she got here. Unlivable! 
Oh that's right and it was really cold here when Della came from 90° temps in TX so it took her a while to acclimate. Hard to believe it's been that many years since we were potty training them.
What kind of plant is that? I have a couple of them but can't remember what they're called.

No, they don't usually (unless, of course they're sick, etc.) It's strange this just happened, though, because there were two stories just yesterday about mountain lions in "Suburbia" in North Texas...one took a puppy out of a child's bed (doors were left open so the dog could go in and out...WTF??) Child was left unharmed...dog is no longer with us.
When I saw "it"...I had no clue what kind of cat it was...had to send the pic to my brother who identified it (after he called me a dumbass and wondered how we shared genetics!!) But, bobcats have been known to go after dogs...I would have absolutely died.
I will look into getting some spray...I suppose Gander or Tractor Supply would have something...?

A friend of mine said the same thing...This one never moved toward us...just stared at Jax (I guess to make sure we weren't getting any closer) and then was gone in an instant.
It was bigger than I would expect a bobcat to be, but I know NOTHING about them.
Like I said, though...I've been running those same roads for more than 20 years...been warned about bobcats and mountain lions...kind of laughed it off...until my baby was with me!!

Drogon caught a field mouse today and brought it to me like a trophy. He was so proud of himself
Good job Drogon!...But...just seeing a pic gave me the heebie jeebies!! I don't know what my reaction would be if Jax presented it to me!! I would do my best to fake pride in the catch!!

Oh, I have no clue if they do...people up here have little to "fret" about, so they exaggerate! I can see if they were ill, etc., but if it was common (bobcat v. human), I think I'd have some scars by now!!
