It has truly been amazing to see how she has grown. Her paws were getting furry under her paws so it was time for a trim. Her perfect chill demeanor just let it be done.

Mill pups

Puppy mills are still a thing. Can you believe it? Thankfully there are places like Fluffy to really let us work with these innocent loving dogs and find them furever homes. We start with Harriet. 3-4 months old. We looked in her pen with 3 of her mates. Cowering, some silent, some barking. Harriet did not bark, was not completely shut down, and was just curious enough to step forward along with one other litter mate for one good hand sniff. Got home and we started right away. Lots of sniffing. One big potty on the floor. Got a long right away with our dog, which is to be expected. Then came bedtime. In a large pen in the living room. Here's where the short dissatisfied barks, howls, whines of disapproval. But it doesn't last. Throughout the night silence....then little bark, howl sessions that don't last.

But she paces by the door or just starts sniffing and we jump on it. She started escaping the pen. So .... She's out and about now. She knows to pee on the mat. Then she balls it up like a cat....so cute and weird. She's doing really well and normalizing.

Feral to Spoiled

In 1 week, there has been much growth. She's a smart little one. She went from howling the first night to figuring out a potty sign, then laying down. She went from the corner, to walking up and sniffing you and licking and chewing on your fingers. She went from "what's a crate" to crawling, jumping out to go play with the cat. Lol She's very curious and will be a great dog with some consistent love and training.
