DO NOT DISTURB: Blowing bubbles in progress

Rescue Story: We found Imogen (FKA Hilary), the last of sweet Clementine’s litter, on an adoption website, and we immediately fell in love with her. On a Sunday, we messaged Rescue Me Georgia. The next day, they responded for us to come get our girl that very Wednesday. She was the tiniest thing in the room at 2 months old with the biggest belly and biggest personality. She put us to work straight away, bossing her big terrier brother, Ivo, around and playing with Missy the cat. Missy and Imogen would play whenever there was a chance to and Ivo would get his puppy bites outside. We are so lucky to also keep in touch with her mama (Clem) and littermates (Stella, Leo, Ava, Hazel, Letty, Nova), and watching all of them grow has been so wonderful on our Facebook Group. Seeing this picture below we knew she was the one.

Puppy Imogen (fka Hilary)

What is your favorite pastime as a family? Imogen and I are backyard people! She is content as can be rolling around in the grass, doing zoomies in the yard, throwing the ball around, and splashing in the kiddie pool. Imogen in the sun is a happy Imogen.

What is life like since you rescued Imogen? It is 10 times more chaotic and dirty, but also a lot sweeter and snuggly. She definitely keeps me on my toes with her puppy energy and her need to inhale every stick, leaf, pinecone, toy, and food within her reach. But, I also get the Imogen who thinks she’s a lap dog, and the Imogen who loves to be wrapped up in soft blankets and rubbed on the head.

Photographers Notes: Walking into this photo shoot I was very excited. This beautiful girl is my dog Clementine’s daughter and our first volunteer from her litter. (Clementine’s story will be featured here in the future) So does that make me her Grandma? LOL Ok maybe not, but I was still so excited to meet her and see what, if any traits were passed down from Mama to baby. It was a warm day so she was less enthusiastic to run around the yard and play (did not stop her from leaving her georgia clay impressions all over me LOL), but once the pool was filled up she immediately got in and plopped down in the cool refreshing water. Pretty sure that is not a shared trait with her Mama! It was so funny watching her and seeing certain mannerisms and looks that totally reminded me of Clementine. As Charlye mentioned we are all so fortunate to have a Facebook group that keeps all the owners of the litter and mama connected; sharing photos and stories of all their silly antics. 1 pup volunteer, 1 is in the edit que and 6 more to get scheduled. (fingers crossed)
