Abby Sunshine

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

Abby Sunshine and her little sister Luna Larkspur crossed a bridge in Aberdeen, South Dakota on a cloudy day. Do you think these two minded the overcast sky? As long as Todd kept throwing those tennis balls, they seemed to be in good spirits!

You may notice that these two have already been running quite a lot- Abby’s tongue is hanging out long!! They have been swimming in the creek below. And what swimmers they are! Excellent. Not only do they fetch by land, they fetch by sea as well.

Here Abby takes a moment to allow me to capture this picturesque scene. The waters are very calm.

Luna also took a moment for me to snap away! Often, at a glance, people think these two little canines look like twins, similar mannerisms, coloring, etc. These pictures (above) show how they look different. Though they have the same mother, they are from different litters, with different fathers. Luna is a bit taller than Abby, having a lean build and also more white on her face and body. Although she is only 1, she seems to be a bit faster swimmer than Abby. Abby has a stockier build, slightly shorter than Luna, and on land she gets to the ball quicker.
