Introducing Congo

Walking back home from a swim several weeks ago, we heard a whining noise coming from some bushes alongside a chain-link fence by the road. The boys ran down the ditch to investigate. "A puppy!" The poor little nugget's head was stuck in one of the holes in the fence. The boys gently pulled her free and the grateful and exhausted pup cuddled right into Jude's arms. We stopped at several homes along the road back to our house, asking if anyone knew where she belonged. No one knew so we took her home. We weren't intending to keep her as we already have a dog, but our kids quickly grew attached to her so we decided she could stay, fleas and all. The kids debated for a few days about what to name her... they just about settled on "Susan", but then "Congo" won out. She's been a great addition to our growing animal farm!
