We’ve been talking about it for years now, and negotiating for months, but finally, this weekend, we did it. We adopted a dog, a one-year-old “mix of mixes” named Kesi, who was rescued and re-rescued from South Carolina to Georgia to several inappropriate placements in Connecticut. Although certainly traumatized, she is sweet as can be, of wonderful temprament (she adores R and E), and clearly intelligent. She is tough and strong, and distinctively beautiful. And she is ours. We couldn’t be happier with our little girl … unless, of course, she were housebroken. :)
