Abby, this is the second tribute that I have done for you. Since your death on March 31, 2004, I have had such a terrible time dealing with losing you. I have done lots of pet grief and have tried different things that might help me. I have decided to adopt a rescue dog (Yorkie) that is almost totally blind. He is only one year old and I just feel that this is the right thing to do. I want to help another dog and I know that you would be proud of me. Somehow, I think you will know that I am doing this in honor of you, Abby. Your sisters, Whitney, Genie, Hannah and Rachael really miss you a lot.
I think that this might help all of us to help another animal. I hope this is the right choice and I know that you would want me to go on. You were always so willing to share your love with your sisters and now I hope they will be able to share their love with this little guy that so badly needs a good home. His name is Teddy Bear and
we plan to get him this week-end.
I hope you know that I am not trying to replace you, I could never do that. You will always be my very special little angel and I know you look out for all of us. Please help us to accept and love Teddy Bear and help him with his sight problem that was probably due to neglect.
I sometimes can feel your presence and it gives me great peace to know that your spirit is forever with me. Daddy misses you so much too and he is allowing me to get this puppy even though we have enough dogs. Watch over us,Abby, and know that I wish that you could be here with us to welcome Teddy Bear as I know that you would. You always gave so much to everyone and I miss your kind and gentle ways so much! Brooke writes and sings songs about you and Lexi makes pictures for you. They love you so much and when anyone asks them how many dogs Grandma has, they say 5, only 4 live here and Abby is in heaven but her spirit is here with us.
