Today Abby is running around the yard like a nut.  It’s beautiful and sunny.  It’s very wet and muddy; we just had rain yesterday–quite a bit.  Abby loves to not only run fast while in the back yard, she also likes to take a dip in the pool and then roll in the grass–or in today’s case, Mud.  She has long and lovely duck toller fur, but with these activities–well, it makes for a rather disheveled look.  We have a reading gig tomorrow, too.  It will be for Renae’s 4th grade class at Meadowbrook.  It is the first this year where Abby will be coming along.  She is very fun in class and performs her tricks well; not to mention, she seems to know just what to do to win the hearts of those in class.  Anyway, I’m not so sure she’d be very popular if she goes in looking like a mess.  We will need to brush her.  She is not fond of having her fur brushed.  Unfortunately, she also gets small mats of fur when she plays so wildly–we have our work cut out for us.  She sure looks good–and feels so soft when we are done.
