Arrival Story: Shortly after moving to Ottawa, we decided we needed a dog for our acreage. We found this little bundle of fluff at a local pet store. On the ride home after adopting her, she turned to me and gave me a kiss, she then turned to my husband, wagged her tail, and threw up all over him. As there was still quite a way to our place, and it was mid-March in Canada, we opened the windows in the car, turned off the heat and looked for the shortest way to our place.
Bio: As a young pup, Abby, was involved in agility. She has had to give up her agility career due to our move back to Saskatchewan and her severe lack of any sort of attention span. As she now has spondylitis in her spine and severe osteoarthritis in back leg she is moving a little slower, but she still has days when she is the pup of old.

Now I am supposed to list the 10 things that I like:
1. Summer
2. The river behind my house where I swim in summer
3. The trails along the riverbank behind my house that are easier to walk on in summer.
4. Lying outside in the sun in summer.
5. Gopher and vole patrol in (you guessed it) summer.
6. My snowsuit (sigh) it does keep me warm in winter (bah, winter!)
7. My meds mixed into the smelliest cat food the momma can buy.
8. My mallard duck toy!
9. Back and leg massages.
10. Pawcourse, mom and dad have to be on this list!
She met daddy in town today after he was finished work and they did some shopping. After the shopping was done, daddy had to rush off for an evening seminar.
Now mom had phoned around earlier to see if she might be able to meet somebody for supper while she was in town. No luck. She was a little down in the dumps about that, and then she thought, she had the best date waiting for her at home! Me!!!!
She picked herself up a chicken soft taco and some mexi fries at one place and then went and got a milk shake and a little bit of soft serve ice cream for me at another place.
I sampled one mexi fry and she shared her chicken soft taco with me. She let me lick out the milk shake container and then I got my little bit of soft serve ice cream. Pawsome!
Once again pups have to say thank to everyone who helped me celebrate my ninth birthday on Tuesday.
