Abby has been with us less than a week and she is the most loving dog we have ever had in our home. She is an absolute sweetheart. And she wants to be near you; leaning, lying at your feet or sitting on your feet while leaning on your legs. She wants to be near her people. She will go into a crate but she's reluctant about it ... because that means that she can't be near her people.

Her favorite thing to do is sit near the window and watch squirrels -- that is when she is not sitting on someone's feet. She keeps a close watch on the yard and really wants to chase any squirrel that scampers past. We don't have a fenced yard so she is only able to go out while on leash. Her desire to freely chase squirrels is a frustration while she stays with us.

Abby went in to be spayed today and everyone there thought she was just the sweetest dog. They'd be right. She did just fine and tonight we're keeping her a little quiet. That's not too hard to do; if we sit down and are quite she lays on our feet and is quiet, too.

Abby met a very nice couple last weekend; they brought treats and a brand new toy for their "meet and greet". We think they are the perfect match for Abby, so if all goes well she will have a forever home before Christmas.

Abby would also like to thank Jeff and Kathy M. for the Christmas present.
