Abby

A brown mutt named Abby looking longingly into the camera

In 2017, we adopted Abby from an Atlanta-area animal shelter in 2017. This lovable pup had been at the shelter before and was given up at two. Those owners left a broken arm untreated, and the shelter staff made the difficult decision to amputate it.

Christened "Abby Normal" (a reference to Mel Brooke's Young Frankenstein), we took her home, and she was a lovely part of our family for eight years. She died in 2025 with lymphoma.

She loved running around in the backyard, chasing groundhogs, and eating carrots.
