Abby

In January 1998, all my brother wanted for his 12th birthday was a dog.  My mom had finally given in to his constant requests and allowed him to get one.  My dad and brother went to get her one night from another city while Mom and I stayed at home contemplating names.  When BP walked in with her that night, she was so tiny and cute.  Surprisingly we had all come up with the same name without even previously talking about it. 

She was such a cute puppy! But like any puppy, she was mischievous. She chewed and ate anything...her favorite being the crotch of ladies' underwear (gross I know!).  As a puppy she would get so excited when people came to visit, that she would always pee in the floor. 

As the years passed, she finally calmed down and spent her days sleeping on the couch.  She always was a healthy dog except for the sty on her left eye.  

April 30th, 2012 at age 14, Abby dog's kidneys began to fail.  She stopped taking liquids and could barely moved.  My mom sadly had to make the decision to let Abby go.  It was a sad day but now she's not in pain .Thanks Abby dog for serving us so well as our family pet for so long. You will be missed!
