Sitting here "working" a little while on vacation. Tears rollings down, as I read this, and now my dad is reading (crying) over my shoulder. We've had a total of 5 Brittanys between us, 2 still with us. I was sitting on the dock watching them swim last night, and got a sudden ache in my chest over the thought of what I'd do if they left me. Our Darby and Bailey bring our family so much joy that it is immeasurable.
I am so sorry for your loss, and my father wants you to know that he feels your pain having just lost his Millie over Christmas. It sounds like your Abby was loved.
