Arrival Story:
Hattie was 8 weeks old in a nasty pound-like puppy mill kind of place and she adopted me as soon as I walked in the door. She had giardia, mites, fleas, and an upper respiratory infection which all got cleared up pretty quickly.

Bio:
Hattie was an extraordinarily unpredictable, fear aggressive puppy with a phenomenal personality to balance that out. A little bit of training for me and we both survived. She is very social with her dog and human packs, and a lot of fun to hang out with. She's a beta and an excellent peacemaker, which goes well with her herding instinct. "All right, break it up you two! Don't make me circle you 'til you get dizzy!"

Hattie's Tales of the Silly


Still the frisbee-est dog ever

She's coming up on 10 but is still the most amazing frisbee dog. I wish I could watch someone else play and film her or something. Mid-air flips, perfect landing calculation - I throw it into the wind, up, and it doubles back - she knows exactly where it will come down. Freak.

 

Of Dogs and Bones

There are several ways to get encrusted dirt off one's cute black rubbery nose. You can lick intermittently, scrape your paw over it, or -- my favorite of course -- find an appropriate object (like a human pantleg) or fabric to wipe it on while looking extremely cute.

I am the stealth stealer of Docker's partially chewed bones. It's my destiny. When no one's looking I bury them for seasoning. First I find the spot, use my scoop nose to cover the bone with dirt, then a combo application of patting down with nose and paws to tamp down the dirt.

I am the multi-layered dusty puff-ball known as Hattie the Stealthy. Watch your bones. Closely.
