4-12 "agnes"
Meet Agnes, the newest member of our family. We adopted her Saturday, one day before Easter.
Agnes is a sweet 12 week old puppy that we picked up from a "We all need a rescue", a local animal shelter just outside of the city. She was one of 60 (yes, I said sixty) puppies that arrived at the shelter during a very short period of time. We had been passively considering adding a rescue dog to our crew, but had no defined plans. When my wife heard of the large influx of puppies she thought this might be the right time. So, while I was at work she took the kids out to the shelter to meet some pups. And amazingly they did not come home with one but waited until I had a day off to make a decision.
Agnes is a shy little girl, with wide genetic diversity. They claim her mom is part corgi, but I'm not sure about that, and she looks nothing like her mom. She also looks nothing like her brother who they claim is from the same litter. We think she will be on the smaller side when she grows up, but no one really knows. Because of the large group of pups she arrived with her human contact was limited. It's taking her time to warm up to us humans, but she loves Eva and Bruno and does whatever they do. I'm sure she will bond with us soon. Right now the nights are tough as we kennel train her and hope she perfects the bathroom only outside thing soon.
And that's the start of the story of Agnes, with lots more to come.
