Abby-tard

Our sweet, stubborn dog Abby died this week. She'd been acting old for a while, but we weren't expecting to lose her yet. I feel worst for Lucy, who misses her sister (although we're trying to help her enjoy being an only dog) -- and for Kaylen, who adored Abby. K is enjoying having a newly-groomed Lucy around, though. Lucy is still not totally sure about her, but i'm hoping they'll be friends soon. That was perhaps the best thing about our little Abby: she would let any little kid climb all over her, pull on her ears, hug her to death, and she'd still be wagging her tail.
