What can I say about Abbie. There was a feeling about her the moment I saw her in that little nook at the Animal Shelter. All of the other dogs were loud and barking; but not Abbie.  With her head down she looked straight up at me and didn't take her eyes off of mine.  We took her home that day and my life was forever different. She had a mind of her own, and not a day went by that I didn't laugh at something she did.  She was had the most beautiful face, mind, and spirit I've ever seen in a dog. She was so loved by anyone who got to spend time with her. She was clever and dominated the neighborhood (despite her size. But the neighbors loved her and will miss that Abbie presence. Her tail wag, her snuggles, her smile, and her love will forever be in our hearts. When ever I dance, she is right there beside me. When I would dance around the house, she would chase after my feet like she was dancing with me. 

She will be greatly missed in our house. She was one of the girls. We were so lucky to have her spirit in this house. The day she died, my mother and I played with Abbie in the fallen leaves outside our house for a good half hour. But, I'm thankful we laughed and played with her one last time. I know she's gone, but I don't understand why. Maybe I never will. She was only 3 and was as fast as the wind when she ran; never could catch her. I love her so much and she will forever be a part of me.
