Abby Sunshine

 
What do you suppose Abby Sunshine is doing outside today? It is wet, wet, wet. 
What do you like to do on a rainy day?

Look at Abby Sunshine. She is hunkered down, in the corner on a windy, 41 degree Spring day.
 When you think of the season of Spring, is this the image that jumps into mind? Leaves, dirt, wind blowing through little Abby’s fur? No, I think this looks like a fall day. This does not show the [...]

Luna Larkspur was the subject of a very intersting project. The artists were asked to paint their pet wearing clothes!
 As you can see, Valerie has decided to paint Luna wearing royal garb and sitting in a very stately posture. I think this says a lot about Luna. What comes to mind when you look at [...]

Here are Abby and Luna. They pose for one shot before going off to rest.

It’s been a big day at the birthday party. These two have expended quite a bit of energy. The excitement of being in a new place, being around a “sister” that you don’t see every day, and getting a few extra [...]

Kids are often up for a piece of cake, right? They are pretty flexible about it. I’ve noticed at birthday parties that even if the children don’t finish their piece of cake, they are very optimistic about it- and often want a piece, the bigger, the better, the more frosting, the better.

Abby attended a birthday party. She was actually an invited guest. This is a first. The party was for Luna, and I guess it was really we humans that coordinated the whole thing. Dogs just don’t do stuff like that. 
 Look at Luna in her finery. She wore a lovely blue bow. This didn’t stay on [...]

I’d like to take this moment to introduce you to Abby’s little sister, Luna Larkspur. What’s really cool about Luna’s family, is that they were inspired by Abby! They chose to embrace Luna as their pet from some marvelous times they had with Abby. That is a compliment! Good dog, Abby Sunshine. They’ve really enjoyed [...]

Yesterday I read A Day With Abby Sunshine to a group of 4th graders at Visitation School. Little did I know that I would run into someone I knew in that class! A student that had been in a violin class with Renae was in the group. What a small world. It was fun to see [...]
