A Halloween Mystery

by Quickflicker

This pup is a female! I'm not completely sure, but I think she might be blind? All of her siblings' eyes are open, but hers have remained closed the whole time and she puts up entirely too much of a fuss if you try to manually open them for her... She doesn't seem to get around too much, just sits with a thoughtful and ponderous expression her cute little face all day long. She has these strange patches where her fur grows in a slightly different direction in a few spots on her body, and the odd swirling markings over these areas are quite curious indeed!

Pup #4 still hasn't opened her eyes - and now there's a third one, right in the middle of her forehead! I woke up a few days ago and saw it there, smack in the middle of one of those weird spiral markings. Her ears have also dropped and grew in length - they're so soft!

Despite not having any eyes open, she seems to get around just fine - it's like she can see without her eyes at all. Really creepy.

She's a very mild-mannered girl, and spends most of her time in quiet contemplation. She doesn't really want to engage with the other pups too much, but she's happy to have a little cuddle with a human now and then!

So, the three-eyed pup finally opened all three eyes - and here's the crazy part: she can only see out of the third eye in her forehead, the other two are clouded over and completely sightless.

She keeps nestling little bits of nature into her fur, and seems to draw some real energy and comfort from them.

Even crazier? This dog definitely can see the future. She held her brother back before he walked under a tree and got pooped on by a squirrel (it was a big poop too, she's a good sister!), she knew gravity was coming to the door with her arms full of goodies for the pups (I promise we didn't spoil them too badly okay?), and she was able to get the door before she even knocked, and last night she helped me pick my lottery numbers - wish me luck!

I think this pup is definitely some sort of seer - those little gold specks get a twinkle to them whenever she's making a prediction, and the magical energy is palpable in the air. When she finishes making a prediction, the bits of nature debris (sticks, leaves, and so on) in her fur all shrivel up and die, becoming completely brittle and prone to falling to dust at the slightest touch. Maybe that's how she draws the strength to use her powers?

I bet that with some training, she could become truly great and do more than just prevent small (disgusting) misfortunes and pick the winning numbers (fingers crossed!). She has limitless potential, and I hope she decides to use it for good!
