Hi All!! I just got back from going home to visit my fam in El Paso and was so busy there that I didn't get to check YT for a WEEK!!
I have been having major withdrawels so I had to come and say HI! I took Abbey with my and she flew on a plane for the first time and it was a bit of a disaster! She cried the whole time and I could not take her out of her bag! Everyone around me was staring at me and giving me annoyed looks but there was nothing I could do. I knew if I took her out and let her sit on my lap she would fall asleep and be quiet but the airline forbid it. On my first flight the attendants were really nice and loved dogs and came to tell me how cute she was and let me take her out and she just slept on my lap. They also told me it was fine to take her out and that they had actually had a dog escape and run around the cabin once before and that it was funny...hm, and they said that dog turned out the be Kirstie Alley's dog. Interesting. But on my second connecting flight the attendants would not let me take her out or even hold the bag on my lap so she whined very loudly the whole way! So terrible I felt so bad nothing could console her. I don't think i will fly with her again. I drove back with my sister (9 hour car ride) and she did GREAT! Slept the whole way and was very sweet.
Other then that Abs had a blast staying at my mom's house. My mom also has a bigger yorkie, Minnie, who is 14 so I was worried how they would interact and it turned out OK. Minnie us pretty grumpy in her old age and did not want to play with Abbey but she eventually started liking her. My stepdad has a BIG mutt type dog he had rescued that has a few issues so is kind of mean (only trusts my stepdad, barks at everyone else and is hand shy bc he was abused) but he was soooooo sweet to Abbey!!
Annnd Miss Abbey is doing VERY well in her potty training so she now gets to sleep with mommy in my bed instead of her crate and she LOVES IT. She wakes me up in the morning by licking me and tells me she needs to go outside, I am so proud of my little girl. She is not almost 6 months and still at about 3.5 pounds. Her growth has slowed down and I really don't think she will get too much bigger, hoping she grows a bit more bc she still very tiny.
It was so relaxing to go home and see everyone...now it is back to work and summer school. But I'm also glad to be back to YT!!! Missed everyone around here...Thanks for reading my long post!!! Hehe.
