End of the road....

Abbie and I are almost done with this visit. She is looking forward to her family coming home on Saturday. Abbie is great and she will be happy to see her family. Lets hope the rain fades and the sunshine prevails. I will look forward to my next visit with her.

Time flies.....

Abbie and I are doing well. This has been a very low key visit. I haven't had much to do outside of taking care of her so all of my attention has been on her and I think she is bored with me :-(
But, we are as always, having a good time just hanging out. When the sky clears we get outside and take a little walk or play with her toy in the grass. Its been very wet the past few days, so we do not get much grass time. But walking for sure and being low key has given us both a rest. I am sure she will be very excited to her family come home on Saturday though, but I will be back just 11 days later! I love my Abbie time!

Happy Easter

Abbie says 'Happy Easter' even though she doesn't look very happy today. Its gloomy and rainy and she is missing her family but she is doing well. She gets a bite of ham for her Easter dinner which will make her happy. We are just hanging out today. We are happy we had such a sunny day yesterday (65 degrees) and she got to play outside all day long. Hope eveyone in the desert and all over are enjoying their Easter Day! Don't eat too many eggs! (or CHOCOLATE)

Beautiful Day!!!!

Abbie is enjoying the day layng in the bark in front of the house. She went for a long walk on the grounds this morning and seems to be happy to be outside today. Of course, she knows its about dinner time and she is ready to come in the house. She loves it when I am cooking hoping I drop something for her to nibble on.
She is doing very well, although last night she got up about every two hours to go outside. Not sure why, but will keep an eye on it in case she has her little infection back. She is a very happy camper with all this sunshine although it is suppose to rain the next three days. But, all in all, everything is good here on the Washington end!!!

How can you NOT love these guys??????

I just realized.....,

Its been three days since I blogged about our little Abbie. I apologize.....no excuse...we have just been hanging out enjoying the sunshine. Its cold, but the sun is shining and the clouds are big and billowy white. Its awesome. Also, my daughter was in town for one night on her way to Cave B, a place I gave them certificates for. If you have never been......gotta go, its a great winery.

Anyway, this is about Abbie and she is doing perfectly fine. We did our chores today...went to the Fed Ex, post office, gathered all the trash and now we are going to do a little cleaning. Funny thing about Abbie...she never ceases to amaze me. I have been having some stumbling problems. Nothing to worry about or freak out over...just when I get tired, my feet don't seem to work. Its kind of like MS...but, I have been tested and it is not that. Only happens on occasion and last night I was getting up from the bed and fell from the bed sideways all the way across the room to her bed that I bought her. Now this is only a matter of five feet and it startled me as I laid there and laughed with my face in her bed. Abbie came over to me, licked my face and sat there so I could grab her collar and pull myself up. At least that is what it seemed like in that split second. I didn't need to grab her collar as I was fine and just got up but it was as if she was taking care of me. She is the most awesome dog I have ever known. This is not to say that my other clients don't have awesome dogs but I have to admit that Abbie is one of a kind and she is almost human-like. I wish we could clone her because I would have ten of her. Anyway, she is doing great..,.taking care of me and I get paid for taking care of her....how's THAT for a job???????

Bored Retriever

We laid in the floor and played with toys today after spending some time outside. Abbie was not amused but I laughed out loud. After all, isn't she here to entertain me? She gave me lots of kisses afterward so I knew she wasn't mad at me. We had every single toy out of her toy box but she really wasn't interested in playing with any of them. I think she would be much more interested in a Cookie. I definitely spoil her. Well, today is Sunday so I may take her to McDonalds. We will see. Its not raining but it is really cold outside. However, I have to say it is a beautiful day. I hope her mommy received her package and if not, tomorrow. We have a lot of time left so if the weather holds up I am going to take her out on the trails for a long walk. We will see if we can find a rabbit for her to chase. She is doing great!

Another Rainy Day..There is now a lake in the yard

I know you have seen Abbie with her toy before, but she has nothing more to do. We have played this morning, but she is as tired of the rain as I am. I think it might be time to go on a McDonald's run soon. She loves her french fries and at least it would get her out of the house. I might even take her for a ride down to the river so she can check it out. I will put her raincoat on!!! But, she is happy. She is snoozing right now while I am on my computer. But she keeps looking at me with those big brown eyes as if to say, come on.....don't you have any pull with stopping this rain?????????

Abbie had a happy day

Today wasn't anything Special as it rainted st of the day. But Auntie Dee went to Muid Bay and bought Abbie girl some treats so she would have something to cgew chew on. It is suppose to rain the rest of the week so we will be hanging out a lot. But everything is great here!

Abbie was excited to see me today. She has been enjoying the sunshine all day today. She seems happy to just lay in the sun. Shes a happy girl and she's the best!

Pasture Pleasure

Chip is grazing today and enjoying the weather before the sky breaks lose and it dumps rain on him. I just found out that Chip and Major are going to have a new friend, Laramie, later this afternoon. We are all anxious to meet the new guy and spoil him the same way I spoil Chip and Major!There is fog in the mountains and they are predicting rain off and on with more tomorrow. I noticed more snow on the Rainier range today than yesterday. It was pretty cold this morning, 38 degrees. But, all is well and we are enjoying our Saturday by being slugs for the day! I had to see a client this morning but we are all settled in now! I am so proud of Cassie. She is really good when it comes to her feeding time. She lays and waits until you tell her its ok and she is just getting better and better. On the other hand, I found a FedEx envelope by the front porch yesterday. She was really good though...she didn't chew it or anything. She just took it from the neighbors and laid it down by the front porch. Hey....that's improvement isn't it! She really is a good girl.

Sunshiny Day

The pups are loving the sunshine this morning. However, there are black skies beyond the Rainier Mountain Range that are looking very threatening right now. But, for now, we are all outside enjoying what little sunshine there is. We cleaned up all the plastic they were eating....don't know what it started out to be? I love mysteries! LOL. If the sunshine keeps up we are going to go for a walk and explore the area over by the trees. A friend of mine wants an Eagle feather. I would never take one unless it were on the ground and my chances of finding one are pretty much the same as me getting a sex change. Ain't gonna happen. But we will have fun trying!!!! Everything is good here. Nothing is destroyed, broken or bent. Waiting on Barb to come by to pick up the trailer but haven't heard from her yet. Hope mom and dad are winning lots of money!!!!!
