Saying goodbye is hard


We said goodbye to the sweetest dog Abbi.  She had 3 cysts, 1 of which she had since we moved to CO 4 years ago.  It was on her paw & had gotten significantly bigger over the last 6 months.  She had another one on her back which we noticed 4-5 months ago (it also was growing bigger).  The third was just over her eye (not growing).  After a visit to the vet, Scott & I came home to talk with the kids about the options & what we were going to do with her. After a week of prayer & thought we made the decision to put her down.  She was a sweet dog & we'll miss her alot!  
Memories of Abbi...
1. Got her from a shelter in Farmington, UT
2. The day we brought her home she stole Lexi's hat from off her head.
3. She rarely barked(only heard her bark a handful of times mostly as other dogs)
4. She would grunt 
5. She was stubborn (couldn't make her do anything if she didn't want to do it unless you picked her up or grabbed her collar & dragged her)
6. She LOVED attention!!!
7. Loved the snow
8. She would get nervous when Scott would watch sports on TV.  She would get up & just stand there panting.  She wouldn't lay down. We could never figure out why.
Tricks Abbi could do...
1. Wave
2. Put on treat above her nose.  She would hold it there & try to catch it.
3. Shake
4. Paws (jumping on us with both paws-I think this was her favorite because she would get attention)
