Of course she is fullgrown now but when we adopted her she was all white with just a little black spot on her ears. She has one blue eye and one brown eye and her eyelashes match - they are white on the blue eye and brown on the brown eye! Over time she developed more spots, some very defined, others a little blotchy. She's a Dalmatian mix but nobody knows what the other part could possibly be. She's like a mini-Dalmatian with all of the traits, personality, and energy of a full bred Dalmatian.
The only problem is that she doesn't know she's a dog! She is a little person, thank you very much. She has a tremendous vocabulary and she knows what every little look on our faces means, every movement, all of our routines, and all of our habits. Heaven forbid that I am not at dinner with Dad because I'm on the computer doing my assignments (what else?) She waits and watches for me to approach and smiles - yes I said smiles - as soon as I come in the room. It's not just that she's glad to see me, it's more that she's saying, "Well, it's about time. Now I know that I am gonna get some food, too." She's relieved because she knows Dad leaves nothing on his plate but Mommy leaves at least one bite of everything just for her.
The day that we adopted her, she was a featured pet on a news spot that morning but we never saw it. They told us after we signed the papers. Therefore, she is named STAR.
She's a cutie! I have several adorable faces in my house that don't understand that they are not human too. And I am definitely not going to be the one to tell them. lol
