Flair Creek Not Today Heifer
call name "Heifer"
DOB 4/2/2025

Heifer is a handful and a half! She is wicked smart and picks up tricks and training super quick.  She plays hard, loves hard, and sometimes has a bit of a hard head, lol. 

She had a rough start due to being "stuck" at birth which caused her to fall behind the rest of the litter. At just 2 days old, she was failing to thrive and I wasn't sure she was going to make it. I tube fed her every 2 hours round the clock for several days, carrying her around in my shirt like a little kangaroo joey. By day 5 she flipped a switch and decided she no longer needed help, she was finally able to keep up with the rest of the litter. And by 8 weeks she had totally caught up with the rest of the litter. She held on with that same fierce little spark that she has now.

​She didn't forget who saved her life, because to this day, she is my shadow and listens to me perfectly (but pretty much ignores everyone else... ha!). 

One summer evening, when Heifer was only 5 or so months old, her fearless streak got the best of her.  She ran off with the other dogs to play in the pasture, and when I called the dogs in for the night, they all came back except Heifer.  Panic set in (we have coyotes who come out at night, and I feared the worst)… until, faintly, a bark answered each time her name was called.  She had fallen into a very deep hole and somehow  knew she had to let me know where she was by answering with a bark! She howled back every time her name was called, until I could follow the sound and locate her almost a mile away from home.  I was so relieved but also furious that my other dogs had left her for dead (Dang labs and their excellent recall! lol) 

But for all her antics, Heifer has a heart of gold! She adores her humans, especially the littlest one. From the very beginning, she’s been Russell's shadow. If he’s jumping in puddles, she’s right behind him splashing along. If he’s digging a hole in the sandbox, she’s slinging sand with him! Their bond very cute. Heifer is one of a kind and we wouldn't trade this feral little dog for the world!!!
