INTRODUCING: Harli Quinn Rose
Chaos Ensues. And Smiles. And Sleepless Nights. And Potty Training.
What was I thinking?
Rumor has it that Harli Ro is a lab puppy. I dispute this belief on several grounds. I present the following for your consideration:
1. She is supposedly eight weeks old. She is 1/2 the size of real
labs her age. She is almost Chester's size at this age—but he
was mostly chihuahua.
2. She has no desire whatsoever to chase sticks, let alone return them. The
second half of laborador is "retriever". They usually show some inclination.
None. Absolutely none. If you want it back you had better go get it yourself.
Harli doesn't even know that it has left your hand.
3. Look at her face. I see a little lab and maybe some pitbull. Her face isn't boxey
like most lab pups. And I have a feeling about those ears.
4. Labs have dark eyes. Usually black. Harli has sweet little green eyes.
She does have the gentle, mellow disposition of a lab. She is smart and willing to please. I don't think she'll get very large, which is a blessing. She has the darling lack of coordination of a puppy who's full belly is too large for her short little legs. She is a cuddler and her tongue is longer than you might think. Remember that when you visit. It can be quite surprising half way up your nose.

Health Update. Drama, Drama, Drama.
I have just had an epiphany. They seem to occur more frequently these days. I think it's the meds.
My epiphany: as a little girl my nickname was "Super Band-Aid Legs". I now feel that my lack of medical progress is due to an unconscious desire to live up to the name.
The brief in brief: The incision continues to seep. Something new burst yesterday and continues to seep. The good news is that I am benign. Of course, they weren't testing my quirky Halloween heart...
