Abby

Dear  GRRSN,

This is in response to your recent inquiry in regards to our adoption of Abby. She joined our family at the end of April and has had a tremendous impact on our family. She greets us with a wagging tail and kisses. She has so much to say and talks to us constantly. She has a very deep bark and lets anyone know, who knocks at the door or stops at the neighborhood mailbox located in front of our house, that she is the keeper of her castle.

From day one she became my shadow and gets anxious when anyone hugs me or our daughter. She is starting to relax now when hugs are going around, especially since she is always included.

She was underweight when she arrived. Since she no longer has to wander the neighborhood and scrounge for food, she has put some weight on.

She doesn’t seem to know how to play with us, toys or other dogs yet, but that will come. She is extremely loving and loves to be with us wherever we are. She loves to go on walks and sniffs everything she passes.

She’s not too thrilled with bath time, but that is improving. She does like to be brushed and have her belly rubbed.

We have all adjusted very well to each other and have fallen in love with her from day one. I’ve attached a couple of pictures of Abby with our daughter, Sarah.

Sarah and I were very happy to volunteer for the Gift Wrap event. We will do so again next year, as well as other events you may need us for. We’re so happy you brought us all together.

Thank you so much!

Joel, Debbie, Sarah and Abby Karasik
