MadWoofter Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 OMG she is just gorgeous All fosters are special, but there is something extra special about a foster failure, and Harper sounds like not only is she extra-special, but she has entered your life at the right time to be even more than that. I am so happy for you (we need a big smacking kiss emoticon here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Both of her ears are sitting nicely now - it just happened overnight last night. ... and I've been looking at her eyes more carefully, and yes, they are slightly different shades of blue. The right one is more grey/blue, and the left one is lighter blue. I think they are both pretty though... *grin* She is such a good girl in the mornings when I have to go to work... she puts herself into her day crate (big enough for a great dane) and waits for me to give her a chicken wing before I leave. When I get home, she waits for me to let her out of the crate and feed the other 3 dogs, then we have cuddle time... She is also learning not to jump up for cuddles. She has to sit and look up at me before she gets picked up... any jumping gets the response "sit", and when she does, then we have cuddles. She's a boot bandit - so I've taken to putting my ugg boots and work boots out of her reach until she can show a little more restraint... lol! She's very tactile - loves pawing at things before putting her mouth on them. When she decides to mouth my fingers when I'm playing with her, she is very gentle - never actually puts much pressure down. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 ..and she may well have one blue eye forever....... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphelion Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 That special bond is worth more than just about anything! I've had two animals that fell into that category and they gave me so much. Harper is so gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm pretty certain that she's going to have her current eye colour forever... just one a darker shade than the other. I don't mind though - she has very pretty eyes I reckon... especially when she sits so nicely and looks up at me wanting a cuddle... *grin* T.

tdierikx Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 She's definitely a unique colouring - I have never seen anything quite like it before, but it's most becoming, don't you think? It all came together in a perfect little package I reckon. So sign of allergies or anything like that, which can be a concern with a dog of the "blue" variety and of unknown parentage. So far she's coming along great guns - and I think she's having a growth spurt right now... she's eating like a horse! Last week she was more grazing than eating a meal in one sitting. Puppies can be funny like that I've found - some eat like horses all the time, and some just go up and down as their growth spurts happen. My fave time of all is in the evenings when I veg out in front of the TV and Harper snuggles up to me and we both end up asleep on the couch... which is what I'm about to go do now... *grin* T.

She's quite a lean build with long supermodel legs - which makes her feet look bigger than they actually are. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
