...following my heart, dreams and Jesus

When we first adopted Abigail, our beagle, I created a blog based on her. Well, there only was so much that I could blog for her and after awhile grew tired of keeping it updated and current. So that blog eventually faded off into a memory, which has saddened me a bit. There are many wonderful posts, not to mention the photos of Abigail's early years. When I created this blog, I wished to bring all of those old posts over but didn't know how ...UNTIL now! I am so tickled pink. I managed to merger those old blog posts to this current blog! Somehow the words export and import just made sense finally! I smiled as I read those old posts and was surprised to see how much Abigail has aged. If you would like to catch up and read those posts just go to my "Labels" on the right side and click "Abigails Original Bog". How many of you have started a blog and then abandoned it, but wish you could merge them? Go here for the how to...  merge multiple blogs

On this day, we celebrated Happy Veteran's Day and Happy 2nd Anniversary for being a family with Abigail! We began the tradition of going to a park with a picnic basket, seeing Abigail would enjoy a day of outting and we enjoy it with her! This year we went to Henderson Falls Park located in Toccoa Georgia. My Dad and I on a bridge over tha water. My Dad and I going through a covered bridge over the water. Mommy is behind us! This was here in the woods.. kinda looks like dog house, but we dunno. I was checking it out. ..just checking to see any of the messages were for me! I got play in the playground. The sand felt different but nice. Here I am with my Dad! Now, I'm with Mommy! This was a staircase that went way down to floor of the waterfall. Mommy and I went down it. I didn't really like these stairs but I was very brave to go back up without any help! Here I am, with Dad again. There's the waterfall! A better shot of the waterfall! I ...

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. ~Elizabeth Lawrence ...will the wind and rain stop, so I can play again? ...seems that will not be today. ...nothing better to do than snuggle up on the sofa and wait for a nicer day. ...I just might as well take a nap while I wait for warmer day.

Please read for the sake of all dogs... after I read it, I immediately went to Abigail's toy basket and threw that toy away into the trash, luckily Abigail didn't care much for this toy! Please pass this information onto other Dog Owners! http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/ Thank You, Karrieann a.k.a. Abigail's Mommy

This is what happens to most beagles when it is hot outside. They develope the "BPS", Beagle Plopping Syndrom". BPS begins when the outside temps rises higher than 80 degrees F. Beagles begin to hang their tongues out. Then their legs become jello, unable to stay standing. Therefore, they plop in place. If they take a step or two, it is more than they can handle due to jello'd legs and they plop... again. Sometimes, they build up enough energy to bring themselves up to the chair which is cooler and more comfortable than the floor. The arm of the chair becomes a promptu chin rest, aiding in holding one's head up. "It is tough being a beagle like me on the days that may bring on the dreaded BPS!

"I'm patiently waiting for my Mom to finish setting up our table out on our porch. There is even a spot for me to join in!" "It is time to serve up the lunch!" "MMMMmmmmm, cantalopes! Cucumber sandwiches! Citrus Green Tea! " "Pardon my manners for standing up on my seat but this is really yummy! Gotta get every morsel!" " I wonder why we don't do this all the time, it would be just fine with me if we did!" "Citrus Green Tea is a delcious drink to finish off the meal with!" "Ahhh this is the life, the beagle life that is!"

Summer Rain ...when will the Summer rain stop? ...it rained on me! I just wanted to play. Have you ever seen it rain on a sunny day? I just did...

Hi! Abigail here, thought I share with you my Merry Christmas! I began on Christmas morning, any morning for that matter, with pleadings as beagles do best! You know what? It always work! Those homemade cake donut holes that Mom made the night before were yummy! At first, I was unsure about this whole "opening" my own present thing. I felt that this was a trap! Mom usually chase after me when I tear or shred paper! I tore a little bit and Mom just sat there watching me, Master did too! Mom was actually happy I tore the paper. What gives? Parents are confusing beings, yanno? I helped Mom and Master with tearing their papers! They were happy too! I really like to be helpful when I can. I even got to see what they got! I hope that mine will be better. Theirs did not have any scents to indicate that it was edible, not that it would stop me! They were happy! My whole day was filled of tearing papers, sniffing presents... my presents! I added my person...
