HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ~ Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep. I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep. The leftovers beckoned- the dark meat and white but I fought the temptation with all my might, tossing and turning with anticipation the thought of a snack became infatuation. So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore. I gobbled up a turkey and buttered potatoes, pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes. I felt myself swelling so plump and so rouns, 'till all of sudden, I rose off the ground. I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie, but I managed to yell as I soared past the trees.... Happy eating to all; Pass the cranberries, please. May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump. May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump, may your yams be delcious, may your pies take the prize, and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay of...

Abigail has been very very good in the fenced backyard while My husband and I tackled the chore of raking and blowing leaves from our massive front yard to the roadside. On Wednesdays, our city's "Vacuum" truck comes around our neighborhood and vacuum up the leaves. We currently have about 200' long, 3-4' high and 5' wide row of leaves beside the road. Is that a lot? Abigail has been wearing a very fashionable sweater. The weather is a bit brisk. Abigail has been amusing herself with our neighbors. They think that she is adorable. We think that too! With the fresh air all day, Abigail is tired and worn out. I think I feel the same!. In a day or two, I will ask Abigail to see if she would fashion the sweater for a picture. BeagleMommie

Look at me! Aren't I just so dang cute? . It is hard to believe that it has been a full week since Abigail's homecoming! What a difference a week makes! Abigail has been more sure of herself. Everyday, she challenge herself mentally and physically. So much so, that I am doing some research on the net to create a "home" agility course for her in her backyard. I am thankful that Abigail is in our home and my life. She makes me laugh, which is good for the healing process. . BeagleMommie

~I had recieved this "Rescuer's Bridge" from Abigail's Foster Mommy, June, who is with Alcovy Pet Rescue, Inc. ~ * ~ Rescuer's Bridge I Unlike most days at Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray, damp as a swamp and as dismal as could be imagined. All of the recent arrivals had no idea what to think, as they had never experienced a day like this before. But the animals who had been waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was going on and started to gather at the pathway leading to The Bridge to watch.It wasn't long before an elderly animal came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. The other animals, the ones who had been there for a while, knew what his story was right away, for they had seen this happen far too often. He approached slowly, obviously in great emotional pain, but with no sign of injury or illness. Unlike all of the other animals waiting at The Bridge, this animal had not been restored to youth and made healthy...

Quiggly, we miss you very much You're always in our hearts I miss Quiggly very much and Abigail is helping me to make the pain a bit easier to live with, by being a very busy active young beagle. When the pain is more easier to live with I will share some things about Quiggly. It is because of Quiggly that we wanted Abigail,more specificly another little beagle.

Abigail is trying her "paws" at some exotic cuisine. Some Exotic Natural Cuisine! She experimented on some "roots" of our thorn-less blackberries. (The root self formed at the end of the cane that had touched ground) Abigail decided that the "blackberry roots" were satisfactory to her chewing. Next, she tested some leaves of pears, maples, oaks and figs. Her taste buds concluded that these were of non-favorable variety, but interesting nonetheless! However, she did like the acorn she cracked open with her teeth and ate. A delightful find! Some pear twigs! These went through vigorous testing. cracking and crunching sounds can be heard while being ground on them sharp teeth of Abby! These proved to be a relaxing.. um.. dinner mint? It will be interesting to see what our budding taste tester will think of our ripe pears, blackberries, figs and muscadines come next year's harvest! ~Today, Abigail had two quick lap running in the yard whil...
