Dogs

Abby's best friend is Jenna, a lab/pit mix. She is a adorable and tons of fun. We offered to have her for the day as Jenna's dad, Paul, went to a wedding.

When Jenna came over she immediately made a bee line for Molly, our 12 year old cat. Molly [aka Toothless] is fierce - even though she has no teeth and no front claws. She continues to remind Abby who is boss around these parts and always welcomes a new challenge. Jenna was no match for Toothless, but boy did Jenna try and try to get her to play! For those of you who have older cats - you know that they dont play. Anyway, Jenna wanted Toothless and Abby wanted Jenna...eventually Jenna gave up her cause and decided it was time to give some attention to her gracious host!

Once Jenna discovered Abby, it was all over! The two of them played and squeeled and tugged and jumped and couldn't get enough of each other. It's interesting because when Abby goes to Jenna's house, Jenna is always the instigator. When Jenna came over to see Abby - roles reversed! I don't think we ever saw them both laying down at the same time!

Unfortunately, there was one casualty. The racoon Abby received last Christmas from Grandpa Johnson is not in its original form any longer. The girls managed to tear the head from the body during one of their games. We've memorialized the racoon head by placing it as a bottle topper [see 1st picture - proof that Oke really is drinking non-alcoholic brews!].

So goes another Saturday afternoon...
