We've replaced our original photo with this wonderful badge that KC posted on the Cat Blogosphere!We recently lost a good woofie friend, Abby. Many of you will remember our post of Cousin Trooper and Abby that we did in 2009. Abby has had many health problems over the years, and it was finally her time to make the journey to the Bridge.
We would like to share a little more of Abby's story:
Abby was a Black and Tan Coonhound. Her Mom met a good friend of hers who was showing her Coonhound, Hannah at a local dog show. That led to Libby and Dazey, the 4th of July girls!
Libby and Dazey's Dad and Hannah got together and had a litter. One of them was Abby. Abby and Sluggo were the "picks" of the litter and went to the breeder. After a while, Abby's Mom's friend sensed something was wrong and drove across the state to rescue Abby and Sluggo In 1999 after Abby had been living with someone who had too many dogs Abby went back to her Mom's friend. She had already had a bath, but was still pretty sad looking when her new "Mom-to-be" met her and was a bag of bones with a dirty collar. She put her head on her new Mom's lap and didn't leave. Her Mom-to-be said no no no and left...perhaps to come back the next day. She did. Abby put her head on new Mom's lap, she went home with her, went right into the tub and that was the start of their wonderful journey.
One word for Abby...a couch potato. She loved the cooler weather, was curious about the beach, liked the big dogs...not so much the little ones. She loved to sample everything that her Mom was cooking and requested ice cubes with her water. :)
Everybody loved Abby. On holidays, she would come over to our part of the state and stay with Auntie El and Cousin Trooper. Cousin Trooper loved Abby! She was a sweet, quiet girl. She was so lucky to have found the perfect Mom who had the patience to work through so many of Abby's health issues and to give her such a wonderful life after such a rocky start. We know Mom Lynn will miss Abby but we also know that Abby will live on in her heart and in the hearts of those who knew her.
Mom put together this slideshow of Abby, we hope you enjoy it.

What a wonderful tribute to a sweet woofie furiend! I'm sure Sniffie will be with her on the Bridge, so she won't be lonely.
It's her folks who need consoling at this time. We send them our condolences, and wish them some comfort in their memories of Abby.
We're very sorry for the loss of your friend Abby. She was a pretty girl. That was a nice tribute and we're sure her mom really appreciates it.
We are sorry to hear your sad news - You must all have so many happy memories of times spent together. We bet Sniffie will be showing her the best places to snooze and play with old friends.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
What a beautiful tribute post. We are a bit weepy. ((((hugs))))
Bless her heart. We are glad that she was rescued after a difficult start to life, and was able to live a decent life with 2 other Coonhounds. We know that Sniffie is showing her what to do and they are running free at The Bridge.
