At What Age Do German Shepherd Ears Stand Up Straight? When your puppy is finished teething (around week 20), his ears should start to stick up or should be all the way up.

The Mayo Clinic warns that people who drink more than four cups of coffee a day may feel a range of side effects, including insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, stomach upset, fast heartbeat and muscle tremors. How sensitive you are to caffeine depends on a number of factors.
Caffeine can increase blood pressure; long term consumption at sufficiently high doses has been associated with chronic arterial stiffness. Blood pressure increases are mediated by adenosine receptor antagonism. Caffeine can cause vasoconstriction. It is unclear if caffeine causes increased heart rate as a side effect.
