Abbey, Abbey, Abbey….

If you been to my blog before you know I have a new grand puppy…her name is Abbey and she was the sweetest tiny puppy!!!! ( she is finally growing into these ears)

Well, since this photo, Abbey has eaten almost every plant in my two son’s newly landscaped backyard, two weekend ago and a few hundred dollars later it is finally looking good again…she ate them down to twigs and they were all new plants! I already did a post about the carpet, yup she ate part of it also…. she also had broken off her baby canines and we couldn’t figure out where….well a couple of weeks ago my son found out….

Let me back up a bit….I got this awesome “fake” cat from my brother and his wife a few years ago. His name is “Bogus”….as a gag gift a few Christmas’ ago I gave it to my son so he could have a “pet” in his apartment…. Meet Bogus…

I even bought him a bed and a name tag….does he look real or what????

Well this is Bogus today….

Notice, no left ear, a chewed right ear and an area on his body that is in the white that she also ate….

Do you see anything else missing?????

Yup! She ate all of his whiskers!!!!!! I was really sad…this is one awesome cat! I am going to see if my friend Meri might be able to fix him with some paper clay….I don’t know about the whiskers….:(

She is only 8 months old!!!! She is going to doggy book camp this summer, and they guarantee she will be a trained dog when she gets back in two months….I sure hope so….my son takes this pup every chance he gets to a dog park to run…..this can last up to an hour and she finally gets tired, and I mean non stop running….how do you handle ADHD in a dog????? I told him these English Pointers were high energy! LOL

Love those puppies !!!!

I spent Saturday with my sons at their house for my birthday. We also did a little work around their house, their cars now fit into their garage ! :)

I got to spend the afternoon with my grand puppy, Abbey. You all remember Abbey, right? My son’s sweet little English Pointer pup?

( 7 weeks)

Well….she has gotten bigger and faster ( her broken leg healed just fine) …..this is Abbey 98% of the time…..

That’s right, the white blur in the photo….I have never been around a pup that is so active!!!! She never slows down, unless she is tied up or kenneled. The dog in the back is my Maya, Maya is going on 9 this year, and she has a heck of a time staying up with her!

( 6 1/2 months)

As you can see, Abbey has grown a lot!!!! She is at that gangling teenager age….about 6 and half months old. The other night, my son Bryan left her alone just a wee bit too long downstairs while he worked……and came down to this!

Now we all know puppies chew everything in sight….but Abbey pulled out each individual strand of this carpet….each little twisted tuft….there was a perfect pile next to this spot! I had to laugh….they can get this repaired, they have extra….and oh, by the way….this is right smack dab in the middle of the family room!

Way to go Abbey!!!!! :):)

Our Abbey Girl

Well, Abbey has been 7 days with this splint/cast and she is just as spunky and playful as always!

'

Bryan has had to re wrap it about every 5 or 6 hours, he is going thru a lot of vet wrap! She goes into day so they can redo it as at the top of her leg, she is getting a pink spot that looks sore…..she is so full of it and she is TEETHING big time, I have wounds to prove it…..little stinker!

But when she poops out it is immediate!!!! I had bought this bed for a fake cat that I gave my son Chris last Christmas, she saw it and loved it! It is now her bed outside of her kennel……Is this cute or what????

She has to get here head kind of under the lip…..please keep those prayers coming….she is getting better everyday, I am sure. Wednesday or Thursday they take it off and run new X-rays…..

Thank you for all of your comments on my grand pup…..she is really special to all of us!

PS....The prayers worked! She went to the vet yesterday, he took x-rays and the leg was so much better that the vet took the splint off! It has a minute space now, but the vet stated it will be together soon! Her leg was smaller as she hasn't been using the muscles but the vet said that will change quickly! So lasy night she got her first bath, the leg was really stinky!!!! I want to thank all of you that prayed and gave us positive feedback, this little one is already a family member, and we are glad we are not facing surgery on such a youngster....:):)

Of all the things that could happen!

I just talked to my son Bryan and Abbey has a broken leg!

When I was over on Saturday I felt a lump on her left front leg and it worried me, I was afraid it was broken. Sure enough he took her to the vet today and the two long bones were broke, but not at the growth plates. ( Thank God!) One has knitted fine, the other hasn’t met up together yet, so they splinted the leg. The vet was optimistic about the outcome as she is not limping( she plays like any puppy does), is not sensitive to pressure and the leg seems to be growing fine, but it would be weaker if those two ends don’t meet up….he feels it happened early on, possibly even when she was born, being the runt, or some rough play could have done it too. We will never know.

It looks like the left leg is shorter but it was just the photo….but you can kind of see there is two lumps on the upper left leg….one of those is not suppose to be there….

Bryan talked to the breeder and he said he would take her back and give him a pup from the next whelping….but everyone has told him what the breeder would do with her. And it isn’t good. We are all attached to this sweet little girl. She has a splint and in 10 days they will check it. The x-rays showed that it is still in the healing process.

How in the world could you let this pup be put down?????

As you can see in this photo, the leg looks the same length…..

She is here to stay….and Bryan will deal with the outcome, but his reasonable puppy just cost him double! If you believe in prayer for animals please put Abbey in your prayers…..we want her to be around for a long long time!
