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.
