Dogs and ribs and such . . . . . .

Abby, our new 1½ year old pooch is very hungry for kind human contact – as well as kind canine love.  Abby has taken to jumping up on Holly’s lap and snuggling.  She’s 50 pounds, so she’s not exactly a lightweight.  And Abby and Zoe have started bonding.  Abby tries to do everything that Zoes does.  ■  You can see them sleeping together – head-to-head on, apparently, their couch.  ■  Abby has also started to do some typical puppy things – such as destroying a travel coffee cup.  She’s stretching her boundaries – just to extend her world.  ■  Lots going on this weekend.  We’ve got Jac & Sue’s party on Saturday.  I’ve got to get ribs for that and maybe a little salmon.  We’ll see.  ■  And as always, it’s time for bed.  Night.  ■
