My Name is Abigail...

...But you can call me Abby. I was born just before Christmas (Dec. 21 or 22) and I have certified AKC parents, but I'm not sure exactly what that means. My mom's name is Ms. Bojangles VI. What a weird last name...VI. I am a girl chocolate lab and I'm one of 10 puppies in my litter.



Yesterday day I got a new family. A kind lady came and took me from my brothers and sisters which made me sad but I could tell right away how kind she was and I trusted her immediately. The lady took me on a car ride and I got to sit up front. We went to the pet store where everyone we passed made funny noises in my direction like, "Oooooh," and "Ahhhhhh." The lady bought some things for me, including a kennel to sleep in and some food.

Next, the lady took me home where I met my new family. When we came into the room, all of the kids were hiding there faces. At first I thought they were scared of me then I realized they were just waiting for their surprise..me! A big man had some little device in his hands and kept pointing it at me. Later I found out it is called a camera and pictures of me can be stored on a little device to later be posted to this blog. How cool is that!

The biggest girl kid took me most of the day and I just love her. She always follows me around though she claims I'm the one following her around. I love it when she pets me and loves me. I feel completely spoiled by her. I love her.

The other kids are cool too. They give me plenty of attention and I always have someone to play with.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I have a huge friend to play with named Lucky. Apparently he's a kind of chocolate lab too but he's been with my new family for a long time. He has grey hair mixed in with his yummy chocolate fur. He walks funny. I think it's because he's a little old, but I don't want to tell him that because that would be rude and I'm not a rude puppy. I watch Lucky and make sure I do what he does because I know the family loves him and I want the family to love me too. He has so much to teach me. I just hope he stays around long enough to help me learn everything.

Last night was pretty rough for me. With a new home and without my family I felt very lonely and afraid. My family put me in my new kennel and I have a fluffy pillow to sleep on which is fine. But when I realized I was by myself I started to cry. My masters came to check on after a while and tried to console me but I just wanted my brothers and sisters and my momma. I cried and cried and just couldn't settle down. My masters tried to take me out to pee but that's not what I wanted. I did eat a little which made me feel better but what I wanted was someone else to curl up next to and go to sleep. With no one around I just cried.

This morning I'm worn out since I didn't sleep last night. I'm going to go take a nap now.

Bark at ya later!
