It’s been a while since I was blogging on a regular basis, I’ve been a slacker. It’s the holidays now, and it’s back to blogging for me! Lest you think I make my come back without and escort, let me introduce y’all to the newest member of the Tartlet Family.
Ain’t she a looker? This is Abbey, a purebred golden lab who was originally purchased by my guy’s mom. She’s such a sweetie, but like any lab she’s full of energy and at just over a year old Miss Abbey is more than a handful. She’d never hurt a fly, but in her attempt to play she knocked his mom over causing her to end up with a fractured wrist. At first D and me were taking Abbey while his mom’s wrist healed, but we fell in love (against our will) and his mom decided Abbey was a little too much and that we could give her a great home. Lucky for everybody, we live a few streets away and can bring Abbey over every Saturday for the family dinners!
I’m not a dog person, did I mention that? Cats are what I know, and ours is acting like a big bully. A cat person like me wouldn’t be affected by those big eyes and cheerfull licking and… look at that tongue…
Oh Abbey, you win. Y’all please keep me in mind with my tiny kitchen and no space plus a frisky lab!

She’s so cute! What a great addition to your family.
And although she’s sure to crowd the kitchen like my doggy, they are great at keeping the floor clean!

She is pretty darn gorgeous that is for sure. Funny enough, my BIL had a chocolate lab named Abby for years and years. She was the smartest and coolest dog.

She is so beautiful and regal looking! I loved my lab.
I know from experience that labs can be a handful, but if you really love her, you may want to look into alternatives to that choke collar. There are other alternatives that are more effective and not as harmful. The Gentle Leader is one possibility.
