Today was the second toughest day of my lifetime. Heaven
received a 4-footed angel this morning.
I had to let my sweet Labrador girl Abbey go today. Her
roommate Tess was by her side at the vet’s office as I held her.
She was a constant joy, full of spirit and companionship for
15+ years. One tough retriever in the field, a sweetheart for Casey and a
friend for Tess.
From the time I brought her home, she was the biggest
sweetheart. Always quick with a kiss and she loved to snuggle. When she slept
on the bed she had a routine of laying long ways next to me and giving me two
kisses before she put her head on my chest and fell asleep.
She was a wonderful retriever and loved her ducks. Always
the smallest dog at the AKC hunt tests she worked hard and impressed the judges
with her ability and drive. She was a thinking dog and no matter where the duck
landed she found a way to get to it and bring it back to me. She got her Junior Hunter title in two
back-to-back weekends.
Run and play in fields forever and Casey and Darby will find
you.
Goodbye my loyal friend.
