Harriet has gone to live with a wonderful family across the border to Packerland! We are so happy that she will be well taken care of for every need, but especially love. :-)

Wow, I can’t believe how long it takes for these holidays! It was a whirlwind of family, friends, outings, and lots of food. Good thing someone is watching my figure. 
So I haven’t had a chance to talk to you all for a while. Well, it’s been busy, cold, and a little snowy now and then. The cold takes away from our walking time, and Ginger and I really love to go for our walks. Here’s a video of one of them…
As you can see, nothing stops me. I heard a rumor that my hips weren’t so great – you’d never guess from watching me, though my hips sashay a bit when I walk. Looks kind of cute, don’t you think? Anyway, my FM and FD are giving me glucosamine and fish oil every day. The best thing about that is the peanut butter wrapped around them!!
I’m hoping someone comes over soon that wants me to share their home with them. My foster home is great, but it’s time I bond with my forever folks. Here’s a picture of me looking for you on the sun porch, and all I see are squirrels and deer.

Harriet back with you! How about that thing you Americans call “Thanksgiving”?? Wow! We had 20 family members come to visit me and eat a big Turkey bird. I wondered if someone had brought it from my native country.
Anyway, my FM & FD thought I did really well with all those strangers – settled down in the foyer, didn’t bother anyone at the tables, didn’t steal any food, and even watched the football game with everyone.
Do you remember the other big event that happened that day? We had our first snow. I can’t remember if I saw it before, but I sure loved licking it off the deck and playing in it in the yard.
FM says I’m getting taller – I’m standing higher than Ginger now; feels so good to be getting bigger. I only get 2 cups of food a day so I’m not overweight. Have to keep my girlish figure, you know.
I’m still housebroken, so now I have free roam. Yippee! I can be alone for 3-4 hours and be good, but then the devil inside me wants to investigate any room that doesn’t have a door closed. FM is pretty good about dog-proofing all counter surfaces because now that I’m taller, I see more temptations. But one day, I tried really, really hard and managed to get into the garbage pail. No treat for me when they came home. 
Most mornings, FM gets up first. When she’s out the door, I try to get into the bed on her side so I can snuggle with FD. BUT…it’s not allowed here, so I have to go back to my own dog bed. Nuts.
Hope to see you soon at a Meet-and-Greet, but I’m ready when you are if you want to see me where I live. Contact your Placement Director for info.
Goodbye for now, or as they say in my country: “Hoşçakal.” Now wasn’t that easy?!

Hi from Harriet!
I wanted you to see how great I’m doing in my foster home. We went for a walk today through the park. I’m lovin’ the fall weather!
We had a scary Halloween with ghosts and goblins coming to the door collecting treats from my FM and FD. I was the greeter and loved seeing everyone in their costumes.
I had my first bath at home today. Boy, was that fun! My FD got in the bathtub with me and scrubbed me all over. I smell wonderful and my feathers in the back are white again. I was so excited I went running all around the house and finally laid down for a belly rub – my favorite thing.
FM wants me to tell you that because of my hip problem, I won’t be able to jog or walk more than a mile or two. Also, too much running around with little ones wouldn’t be good for me either. But FM & FD have two grandchildren who are 9 and 12 and they are very gentle with me. We still have fun chasing balls, but nothing too strenuous. Hope you’ll come and see me one day and maybe I can come to your house. I’ll miss my FM & FD, but I sure would like a forever place to hang out.
More later!

Harriet is a very sweet dog. She likes to give you the typical Golden “nudge” and raises her paw sometimes for attention. She gets along very well with our 8 year old resident, Ginger. She has a special toy that was quickly de-stuffed, but loves all of Ginger’s toys.
We were happily surprised that she is completely housebroken – no accidents and actually ringsa Christmas bell attached to our patio door to go outside and do her business. Like the rest of her friends from Turkey, she is very food and treat motivated. We are working on her to take the treats nicely. As for the food, let’s just say she would go after any food laying in her way on the counter. :-) She quickly discovered our garbage bag that was on its way out the door for collection. No question she was used to foraging for herself on the streets of Istanbul.
She is quiet and well-mannered and loves to roll on her back for a tummy rub. She dearly lovesall the attention and will come down the stairs to my office to lay by my side. She is very inquisitive and is also starting to respond to her name. Car rides are a favorite thing and she sits looking out the window at everything.
Lately, she has been to the vet for a few shots & tests. In doing this we discovered through x-rays, that she bad hips. We are having our orthopedic surgeon review her films for the next steps. Unfortunately, the surgeon is out of town on business so we will need to keep Harriet with us until that is done in a few weeks.
She’s a sweetheart and waiting for you!
