Abigail the Southern Belle

Hi ya’ll, my name is Abigail, and I’m a Golden Retriever. Even though I’ve seen my share of sunsets, I still like to think of myself as beautiful. For the past year, I have allowed Shadow the Chocolate Lab into my home. I did so with the dignity that befits a southern belle, and showed him some hospitality. Over the years, I’ve learned that sometimes it’s easier to let the boys believe they are in control.

For instance, I’m willing to bet Shadow doesn’t even know that he has a surgery coming up. That right, he’s gonna get the ole “snip snip”. Boy, will that puppy be surprised.  : )

As Shadow said, I will be blogging about different aspects of dog health. Things like, why it’s important for male dogs to get neutered, and how it can reduce health risks as they age. (I bet he doesn’t know about that part either.) I think I’ll also rewrite some of Chris’ articles on dog pain relievers like aspirin and Rimadyl (let me you honey, that’s some good stuff) to help dogs with arthritis.

My life is simple. I prefer the finer things, like lying in the dirt in the backyard or finding a nice spot in the shade. One of the nice things about living in the south is that you can be outside year round. Unlike Shadow, I’m not fond of water. I’ll take baths, but they aren’t my favorite.

I look forward to sharing comments with each of you and getting to know you better.

Ya’ll stay in the shade,

Abigail the Southern Belle
