Good-bye, Abbie

Sept 2001 - age 3 months
In the tumultuous second week of September 2001, Jenny and I brought home from an adoption event held at a used car dealership the smallest female from a litter of Black Labs mixed with -- no one was sure -- either Dalmation or Springer Spaniel. She had three white socks, and, fitting the patriotic mood of those weeks, she came with an American flag bandana as a collar. We took this picture the day we brought her home. We named her Abbie, and she was sweet, gentle, and dear part of our family for these last 13 years. We just had to say good-bye to her. We'll miss you, Abbie girl.
