Happy "Got-Day" Abby!!

Today is the anniversary of bringing my Abigail home from the SPCA (one year today!). It's really hard to believe that she hasn't been here longer, she's such an important part of our lives, and its like she's always been with us. I can't remember our pre-Abby life (Echo, I love you dearly too!!).

Here's a picture of the day we brought her home:

when we got her she was all hyped up from being in the kennels, and we didn't think she and Echo would bond - Echo was having NONE of the silly puppy behaviours! But, with some time Abby started to listen to Echo and now they don't do much without each other. Echo is still more  of a loner but has grown to 'tolerate' Abby :)  We don't know her exact age, but the vets guessed at 2 - which makes her 3 today! Happy birthday Abby!

Abby will always chose to walk in the deep snow - not the shovelled walk:

Abby doesn't 'walk' anywhere...she bounds!

She always needs to know what Echo is doing - just incase she's missing something fun:

Abby has a true zest for life, she loves all people and animals. Many people who meet her (even those who don't especially like dogs) say 'I would adopt a dog like Abby' - she has a lovely, quiet disposition; she welcomes everyone she meets with her shy smile and tail moving a mile a minute. She's always up for anything - an long hike in the woods, or a snuggle on the sofa with her boy. We are truely blessed to have her added to our family! We love you Abby! 

PS - Great workout today at noon - it was a kettlebell workout that focused on our legs, but we mixed each set with upper arm exercises (push ups, brazillian push ups, dips, etc)....I didn't feel this wiped out after my one hour Ryder class....wow!
