[abbie's mom]

....in a land not-so-far-away; a black and tan ball of fur was born. One in a litter of six, our heroin's days were filled with the business of growing and playing with her four sissies and one baby brother.

Then one day, some people came to play with her and her yorkie siblings. The lady really seemed to like her, and she curled up in her lap. Her sister took to the man, and every time he would stand still, she would fall asleep on his foot! This couple visited a few times, when one day - they took our heroin with them! Ohhhh...it was a scary time, being away from her litter mates and mom! She shook and shook all the way to the new house where she would live. She heard words like 'family', 'love' and 'forever home'. She did not know what these words meant...she only knew that she was lonely and afraid!

But, over time she grew to trust the love the man and woman had for her, and believed they would never ever leave her. "This must be what FAMILY is!" she decided.

And, so she lives....happily everafter. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet girl!
