Abby Sunshine

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers

Upon arrival at this charming St. Paul book shop, Abby Sunshine took a moment to look around. It seemed that she was mostly looking up! Much of what she was interested appeared high on shelves, or up stairways! Have you ever felt this way yourself, when entering a store with many things for sale?

Abby looks on, always watching, while sitting in front of the check-out area. Her story was a featured event today, so you can see that there were some books displayed on the counter. Abby doesn’t really care. She’s more interested in ACTION. She notices the children. They are looking at books and wandering around.

Here we placed Abby’s books near her- Why should her books be so high? Up where Abby herself can barely see them? Have you ever faced that? A book is on such a high shelf that you can’t even get to it? The only difference is that once again, this isn’t important to Abby Sunshine. She, being a dog, could take or leave the book. She likes interaction- she wants fun. Perhaps a game of fetch or a chance to do some tricks. Her story is for kids or dog lovers, not so much for dogs!

Ah, finally! One of Abby’s very best play buddies has arrived! Abby was so happy to see Todd. Here I think she is hoping he will take her outside where they can run, run – fast and faster! OK, she will smile for one last photo.

By the way, the Red Balloon Bookshop focuses on children’s books and is located in a wonderful area of St. Paul, near many quaint shops and eateries. I recommend stopping by to look at the books, or attend one of their many events.
