One of the Greatest Dogs On the Planet

I adopted Agnes six years ago today.
She'll be my dog until she passes away.
I named my Chihuahua after my late mother.
She's my dog and I won't trade her for any other.
Agnes got sick and a veterinarian examined her.
The vet discovered that she has a heart murmur.
Because of a tick, Agnes was temporarily paralyzed.
I didn't know a tick could do that, I was surprised.
She nearly died and it was hard for me to stand it.
Agnes is one of the greatest dogs on the planet.

(I adopted Agnes on August 27, 2013.)

Hello Randy Johnson, we all love our pets. yet when they hut we also hurt. My sister's dog Maggie had 16th teeth removed. she was not allowed to play oreat treats. Only to eat soft foods. now she is back to normal. Have a nice day my friend.
