Arrival Story:
We first found a 10-yr. old beagle/bassett hound mix we tried to adopt but found out she had an incontinence problem and since my husband and I both work, being gone all day would not work out. We were disappointed and the lady said there was a perfect dog out there somewhere for us and that we should try Pet Finder so we did. We found the perfect dog --a 5 yr. old shepherd/Norwegian Elkhound mix named Gabby. She had been in an overcrowded shelter and they didn't know how she ended up there, she was such a nice dog. Obviously, she had some traing. She was scheduled to be put down but they found a foster home for her to give her more time. She was only there a week when we took her to be ours. We were able to try it out for a week to see how it went and it went great! She even left our cats and all our stuffed animals alone!

Abby's Diary--Woof, Woof!


I Wrote A Book!

I wrote a book about my first year with the Zemeks. I am so happy to have a forever home with them. I was scheduled to be put down at a shelter because it was overcrowded, but thanks to a nice lady named Barb, I now live with Gerard, Karen, Spunky Doodle and Manny. Karen helped me write a book about my life with them for Gerard for Father's Day with lots of pictures too using Blurb.com! It was quite a project but it turned out great and Gerard was very, very surprised. He kept saying over and over how awesome it is! Karen was very happy with how it turned out too.

We made it public so you can even buy it if you wish. Any profits we receive from the sale of this book will be donated to Canine Lifeline, Inc., the organization that Barb started to place dogs from over crowded shelters in foster homes until they find forever homes like I did. Oh, the name of the book is Abby Finds A Good Home--From Death Row To Adoption.

 

I'm So Excited!

I can't wait! I am going back to PetSmart for more dog training classes starting this Sunday! I am so excited to learn more things because I am getting bored with just wait, come, sit, down and stay. I want to learn more and in this class Karen says they will teach some games I can play with my owners too. It sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention I'll be getting extra treats again? I am also excited because this will be a new trainer that I can meet and impress with my charms. I wonder what other dogs will be in this new class and if I Odot or Chewy will be back.

I was a little worried though for awhile because on the way home from meeting Karen after work one day, she and Gerard got into a big fight about the classes and I thought maybe they would unenroll me. I'm really happy they decided to keep me signed up. This time they are on Sundays so we will still have plenty time on Saturdays for long walks and park trips.

Is there anything that excites you lately? What do you look forward to? Woof! Woof!

 

My First Halloween Party

Bartels (the place I went for my spa day) had a Halloween party for pets on October 17 so we went. It was fun! I wore the scarf with the owls on it that I got after my bath but other dogs were even more dressed up!

One even had wings! I am going to sniff her in the picture but she was very nervous and shaking. Sorry you can't really see her too good in this picture, but you can see me. Notice how busy my tail is? I was wagging it the whole time I was there!

I liked meeting and greeting lots of dogs but the best part was the treat lady who gave me a couple doggie cookies. Karen didn’t really seem to enjoy it much because she was too busy trying to get good pictures while Gerard and I were always on the move. We did sit down on the way out by the decorations by the door so Karen could get a good picture of us. I wonder what the next fun thing for me will be! Gerard says that if it’s warm enough outside on Halloween, he’ll take me on the porch with him so meet all the trick-or-treaters who come. Maybe I’ll get more pets.

What are you Halloween plans? Did you ever go to a Halloween party? Happy Halloween--Woof! Woof!
