Abbie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Abbie
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
 
   This is my baby, Abbie. She was a stray dog that a good friend of mine found and took in. She was under weight, cold and starved for attention. She was taken to the vet and nursed back to health. At that same time I had finally gotten to a place where I wanted to take on the responsibility of owning my own dog. I had grown up with dogs and they always came us under less than normal circumstances. So the idea of buying a dog was not an option. I will always adopt my dogs!! I had started to look online at the local animal shelters to find my first dog and was not having much luck. I happened to go to my friend's house to ride out Hurricane Rita and met Abbie for the first time. She immediately caught my eye because of her eyes! She has one brown eye and one half brown, half blue! After a little begging I became the proud mommy of Abbie! It was a match made in heaven. Abbie requires a lot of attention and I am just the person to give it to her. Her favorite past times are chasing squirrels, playing with her best friend, Icez, and snuggling with me. She also loves to play hide and seek. I hide and she finds me every time!! I couldn't have asked for a better companion. Even when she tested positive for heart worms and I had to fork over a large sum of money to treat her, I didn't think twice about it. I would do anything for my baby!!
