Abby Never Ceases To Amaze Us

We still can't believe how awesome Abby, our dog, is that we found on Pet Finder. Not only is she doing very well in her dog classes, but she also gets along great with other dogs, cats and people of all ages. Gerard and I felt very proud of her when her dog trainer said how awesome she is. Abby posted all about it on her blog: Dog Trainer Is Impressed With Me.

On Labor Day we finally decided to take her to the little dog park about 10 minutes from our house. It's a small patch of land with a few trees, 3 picnic tables, a box of some dog toys surrounded by a fence. There were four dogs there and although they were all off leash, Gerard and I were leery about letting Abby go free so Gerard just walked around with her. All the dogs were very curious and excited to see her and all came to greet her. The Boxer started jumping at her which we didn't like so then we left shortly after that. I guess he wanted to play but Abby didn't want to play that game.

We took her up again after Gerard got home from work on Wednesday last week. This time there were eight dogs there and we let her go off the leash. We were both so proud of her that she still followed us around and her and I raced to the fence. It was a tie. Gerard and I both stood far apart and took turns calling her to come and she did! There were various sizes of dogs and it is a nice place to go to meet some of our neighbors. We look forward to going often.
