Dont Look Now....
Abigail Valentine in her play pen
Guess who's just arrived!
Actually she will have been here a week or so. Abigail is doing famously well. First, she is a beauty. She is not still long enough for me to get a good picture of her and she needs a groom so she wont look so much like a muskrat.
While she is Annabelle's full sister, and is as sweet natured as her sister was, Abi is just "more" of what Bella was... I sense a great soul in this dog. She is easy to love and easy to do for... I somewhat resented the 3 am potty break the other Abigail needed. Abi is so good that if she cries at night persistantly... she needs to go, and will go right away when we go out. Then we get right back into our respective beds and that is it... She is very good about not crying when she is crated... This little girl will sleep thought the night most nights and has had zero...count em, zero accidents. Pretty amazing when you consider that she is three months old and this is her first week here. Yes I have been home to see that she gets out every few hours, but the difference between her and the first Abigail is like night and day. Hats off to
Pam and her training methods people cant hardly believe it when I tell them...
I also believe that God had a plan. This little girl was waiting for me. All I needed to do was to wait for God to get her ready. She is going to be fine even if I start work next week...she could probably do a whole day in her crate just like Annabelle did and not be bothered too much. I wil admit she does seem to have a touch of a separation issue, she cries and runs about looking for me like a small child that has wandered off in the department store looking for her Mom. She finds me and flings herself up in a sort of reckless abandon... I always cuddle her and tell her how much I love her...
Because I do.
How easy it seems to be for me to give my heart away these days... It seems like the only thing that I have left to give...
