A new puppy

A Shelter Puppy joins Reinwood Corgis!

It is not everyday when someone asks you to join them somewhere that would eventually change something in your life. This invitation was TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTALLY unexpected. One of my agility clients asked me to join her at the New Rochelle Animal Shelter in NY on Wednesday after agility classes were done. Normally after the classes I head to a clients house with the Portuguese Water Dogs in NY where I work on their obedience training. WELL............I followed my client to the NRAS as they had since moved from their old location and I had NO IDEA where they were. A friend and former student of mine named Dana met us there as she is the head person and runs the shelter. Well, my student started looking at these dogs and then Dana escorted us to a SPECIAL WARD. There in two different pens were two litters of Rat Terrier mix puppies. The mother of both litters were soooooo sweet and GORGEOUS! Well...the rest is history....one puppy in the first stall took my heart and she will be coming home with me in two weeks! SOOO now I am no longer owned by just Pems and one BC but also by ONE shelter dog!

Since this puppy is only 6 weeks old she will be staying there till she is about 8-9 weeks. In the meantime I will be visiting her quite often and certainly will be taking pictures of her as she progresses. No name has been given to her just yet. The mom had been found running loose in NY with ANOTHER female who was also pregnant. BOTH the Mom and other female had given birth to the puppies at the shelter. Who knows what they are....speculation is part Heeler and part Rat terrier. One friend observed the pictures of the pup and said.....maybe Beagle too? Nope....nothing like a Beagle at all!

Plans are for this girl to learn agility and obedience. I am sure the pack will have some questions about this new arrival. But I am sure all will turn out just fine.
