Introducing ...

... Ladyleigh's Abigail is So Posh.  Yes, it's a ridiculously long name for the new addition to our house, but isn't it so fun and quirky?  To us, she is simply Abbey.  Since picking Abbey up on Vancouver Island and bringing her home (the journey of which included her first ever plane ride), C and I have found so much joy in introducing Abbey to the wonders of life in Calgary.  She has been a dream puppy so far - no shoes have been destroyed, very few 'accidents' have occurred in the house and she simply rolls with whatever you throw (not literally!) at her ... bikes, babies, car rides, children, wheelchairs, noisy dinner parties, construction workers at the house, other dogs etc.  No matter what situation Abbey is put in, she just takes it all in and loves it.  We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful puppy in our lives!  Enjoy these pictures of Abbey's first week with us ...
