I've Never Been so Exhausted and so Happy!


The human decided to take an actual summer vacation and we hounds are getting to go along!!!!  After what seemed like a year in the car, we got to what is quickly becoming my favorite place.  I don't really know where it is, I just know that when we come to this particular house, we get to spend almost 24/7 with the human!   We get to go bye-bye in the car almost everyday.  We get lots of walks and plenty of snuggle and play time.  We hounds just love it here and are always sad when we have to leave.   But this time, it seems like we are staying for a while.

We've been going on walks or I'd say more like hikes everyday.   We get to go into the forest where there are so many amazing smells and sounds.  We walk for a really long time.  I've heard the human say something about walking for miles.  I just know it's longer than we usually walk back home.   We've also seen these really large dogs, I think the human calls them deer but they just look like tall dogs to me.   They look cute, but their sheer size intimidates me.   Plus they move really fast.  With those tall legs, they run way faster than me!  Here's a picture of one...


The best thing about all these walks is they actually wear the crazy terrorist out.  So she comes home and naps and doesn't bug me nearly as much.  I'm actually getting some peace and quiet for a change! Plus, I get to nap in the sun on the deck, or on the couch or on the bed.  I get to nap pretty much wherever I want.  Not that I don't get to do that at home too, I just seem to have more options here.  I hope we stay in this place for a long, long time.   I know I'm not ready to leave.



We've already had one visitor and rumor has it, we have another visitor coming soon!  I think that just means more walks, more new places to discover and another person to give me attention!

Allow me to introduce myself

My name is Abigail, although personally I prefer Princess Abby. I live, make that rule, a household in Los Angeles. I have a big backyard to play in, a couch to sleep on, and lots of love. I'm on my 3rd, yes 3rd, male companion. My first bud was Sherlock and he taught me everything. I was just six weeks old when I met him. He was five, so he knew everything. He took me under his wing and looked after me until the day he died. He died a week before his 13th birthday. That was almost 5 years ago and I still miss him. He was a special dude and for 8 years, we spent every minute of every day together. I was really lonely after I lost my best bud. So mom decided I needed another friend. In walks Brutus. Now Brutus was nothing like Sherlock. He'd had a really rough life but he didn't want to share what he knew of the world. He said his past was just too ugly and he wanted to forget it. He was just grateful to have nice place to sleep and people who loved him. He followed my mom around everywhere. He would never let her out of his sight. At first I was a little jealous, well a lot jealous. But then I realized he didn't grow up getting the kind of love and attention that I did, so I let him have the spotlight. I wound up learning a lot from him. I learned how to be grateful for the things I had. I'd grown up having it all so I didn't really appreciate anything. Brutus however was grateful for everything. I learned that the more love I give, the more I get back in return. He was a very special friend but unfortunately he got really sick and our time together was cut short. My heart ached after Brutus was gone. What was wrong with me that my two best buds had to leave me? As I sat feeling sorry for myself, mom pulled up in the Jeep and out jumped Chadwick. Now let me tell you about Chadwick. Chadwick walked in like he owned the place. He walked around like he was royalty or something. I don't know who he thought he was, but I quickly put him in his place. I established myself as the alpha dog in this household. He challenged me at first, but he finally acquiesced. Now Chadwick is a pain in my ass. I mean that literally. You see he's blind. I don't just mean he can't see well, the dog has no eyes. It's kind of freaky if you ask me. It is kind of funny though to watch him bump into things. He gets around by his sense of smell. Now let me translate that for you. It means he walks around with his snout stuck up my butt! Now you may laugh and you may think it's cute, but let me tell you, it's annoying as hell! I'll admit, he's quite a looker but boy does he bug. He gets on my nerves to no end. So the reason I tell you all this is so that you'll realize how much experience I have with love, with friendship, with life. I know I'm not getting any younger and I realize that after twelve years in this crazy world it's time I do something to give back. So I've decided my legacy will be to pass on my hound wisdom to all who are willing to listen. So please read my ramblings, my rants, my observations. You just might learn something.
