What can I say?

It was Ret to the rescue, once again! Scotty & I really hadn't intended to get another dog. But, I heard that Abbi was up for adoption, and we just went to look. Wellllllll, meet the newest member of our family...Abbi. Yupppppppp, I could NOT resist that little pug nose and those big eyes (You can't see them in the pic, I'll post one Tuesday when she gets her hair cut, lol).

Abbi's 3 years old, she had spent her life in a kitchen, so far. But she's having the bestest fun now, she has the run of the house and a big fenced in yard and 2 dog-sisters to play with, along with us!! Scotty & I feel good to know that we've enriched her life. I wish you could see her...she was just in awe at seeing so many different things!! I think she's as happy to be here, as we are to have her.

We know that Abbi can never replace Emma, but it's nice to have this little ball of
joy bounding around the house!!

Have a great rest of the week.
