Week
One

Abby is quite a lovely little being. When she arrived
over a week ago she had a cold, but even so she was good-natured
and responsive. I was amazed at her enthusiasm when we
got home that night. She was delighted to play and jump
around -- it was lucky Sammy had left some of his toys
here! She wouldn't settle down in the crate for sleeping
though; it definitely made her very sad. So after 20 minutes
or so of listening to her cry and moan to herself with
the occasional yip, I made her a bed on the blue chair
and she happily stayed there until morning. Now she has
a spot on the couch and sleeps there.
She would love
to sleep on my bed, which is not permitted. The last
few nights, even though she seemed to be asleep
when I turned off my light, she’d get up, come to
my bedside and beg to get up. I take her back to her own
bed, and then she repeats the process one more time. But
last night, on her second try, she turned around and went
back by herself when I said, “Abby, go to bed.” She
really is a sweetheart!
My friends are amazed that I have adopted a dog, but when
they see little Abby they understand. She is smart, very
loving and while she likes to please, she also likes me
to please her! Our main problem is how to keep her warm
enough until she acclimatizes and her hair grows back in.
It has grown noticeably in just one week.
I love how willingly
Abby takes her meds and responds to training. She is
very smart, very loving and behaves
well when I leave her alone. I’m very grateful to
have this sweet being in my life!
