Abby Sunshine

Abby Sunshine has recently gotten to participate in the making of a short (two and a half minutes) home video with her good buddy, Renae, and feline sisters, Thorndyke and Hemple.  Please enjoy this clip, and especially the exciting animal chase scene in the latter part of the show!

When Abby sees the “chuck-it” ball thrower, she becomes fixated on it and has one thing in mind. What is it, you ask? I think you know. She is ready for a good old running game, on a very hot day.
