Abigail was helped across the Rainbow Bridge this morning....
My mom went to get the mail and Abigail was laying in the yard and would not get up...Mom called the vet and he came to the farm.....Abigail could not move other than her head and her front feet...she had a stroke....
The vet and my mom sat there in the front yard, in a warm gentle rain, with Mom holding Abigail's head and talking to her as the vet helped her take those final steps.....
But...since she had this last ordeal I had posted about....she has had a good life and MUCH longer than any of us ever expected her to...she even lived another winter running the hills she loved and everything....
Run Free once again, Dear Sweet Abigail...and try to stay away from sticks this time girl!!
(when she was a young pup she ran into a stick in the field while playing with her littermates one day and was near blind in her left eye - we figure she could see shadows)
