These are our dogs, Abby and Maggie. Abby is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever, and Maggie was a Border Collie. Maggie died this summer. We do miss Maggie.Abby is a sweet dog. She loves to play fetch and a game we call "find it!" She loves children, and she'll let them do anything with her. Actually, Abby loves everyone that will pet her. She doesn't get as much petting as she would like, because she likes to roll in smelly stuff. We bathe her often! Abby got run over by a car in our driveway last summer, but she's a tough old dog. She is doing well now. We're thankful for Abby (smells and all).
Maggie was the smart
est dog I've ever met. She herded our horses with out being taught, and she picked up on words so fast! This does not mean that she was an obedient dog, though. Maggie knew that we couldn't make her obey, so a lot of the time she did the opposite of what we asked. Maggie liked to hike and camp with us, and she was an athletic dog. She could keep up with the horses at a gallop for a long run. Maggie liked to swim, hunt for bugs, and sleep under our beds when it rained. She would open the front door, sneak inside, and tiptoe up the stairs to the room Annie and I share. Annie had to go up after her and drag the wet, muddy dog back outside. We have many funny memories of Maggie.

We have many funny memories of Maggie. Tonight we are going to do our shopping at Whole Foods. We like to do our shopping as a family, because it is more fun that way. We'll also stop by the plant nursery to get the seedlings I need for our fall garden. Daddy is preparing the soil for the garden today. I'm excited about getting started on that! I planned my garden on http://www.growveg.com/. It was much easier than drawing it out on paper.
Here is today's memory verse:
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Proverbs 30:5
Abby looks great - I could have never found her a better home. So so sorry about Maggie. I know you all miss her very much. Is this picture of Abby even after the accident?
