Neah and her Epic Ears

Chances are that if you are a big fan of rat terriers, your partial to rattie ears.  You know, those big radar dishes sitting on top of their head and able to pick up the sound of a treat bag opening from a mile away?

All their ears are cute but some of them are pretty hilarious. But Neah's ears are in a class of their own.  She has epic ears.

First off, they are pretty dang large.  I've seen larger, but the ear to head proportions are still a bit surprising.  But it's not just the size that is great about her ears, it's her talent of positioning them.

For the most part she's got cute folded ears that flop, flop, flop as she runs and wrestles with Langley.


But, if something is really surprising to her, watch what can happen:


Or sometimes if she's a little confused, this seems to happen:


And when she really, really, really wants you to give her a treat, up they go, saluting that bite of jerky in their full, epic glory:
 
 
And yes, she is as amazing as she is cute. Langley, Troy and I love her already.  Tilly's opinion is "meh", and Frodo's is "WTH? Where did Langleyette come from?!!!"

Is Neah available for adoption? I don't see her on the New Rattitude list of available Rat Terriers. She's adorable! I live in Portland, OR and have been looking for a youngish female Rat Terrier. How do I find her?
Thanks!

She is available, but just not up on the Website or Petfinder yet because she's so new. She's a great girl - incredibly smart and pretty high energy, which can be a challenge, but with training she's going to be an awesome dog. I suggest you put in an application at www.newrattitude.org/htm This isn't committing you to adopt her, but will get the process started and we can see if she's a good fit for what you are looking for.
