Belle Starr

Starr is visiting with us for the next several days - a last-minute plan to relieve some demands on her own foster family. She's a Fila Brasileiro, 18 months old, with juvenile cataracts that limit her vision to within a few feet. And she is all puppy. She and Hunter spent the evening getting acquainted at a FOP committee meeting (and doing a lot of disrupting the meeting) and the homecoming worked out pretty well - Hunter did most of his grumbling before we got home. They played for a while in the backyard. She has some tentativeness when she can't figure out what's in front of her, and then every so often the puppy takes over and she is a howitzer on the loose. I'm hoping she'll settle so we can get some sleep before the alarm goes off at 5am as I have to open the daycare in the morning.

She's beautiful Peg! And how nice of Hunter to share his home with her (without too much grumbling!).
