This is Abby, my approximately 11 year old Red-Tri Aussie, who originates from Ohio. I was very lucky to have adopted her through the ARPH just over 9 years ago.  Her first few days were rough for her, as she was so scared and confused. She shrunk away from my hand when I went to pet her and that just broke my heart. Over time, I won her trust and she just thrived. She never got over her mindset however that every meal was her last...she obviously didn't do very well fending for herself when she lived on the streets given her scrawny appearance when I first got her.  Abby had to be euthanized on October 26, 2009, due to countless tumours in her lungs, secondary to the cancer in her blood stream. I was blessed to have had her, and the joy and love she gave me can never be measured. The sadness in my heart can only be replaced by the fact that I know she had a great 9 years with me.

Thank you Abby-Girl for that, and may you have an endless supply of tennis balls on golden sand beaches up in Heaven. I love you and miss you.

Thank you so much to ARPH for granting me the opportunity to adopt this little brown doggy. She brought so much joy to my life and I am very grateful.
