A Golden Look-a-Like

At Christmas Hunter, the family dog, (okay, my Dad's dog) made it his job to sit watchfully by Abigail. He is a golden retriever who loves to find toys and shoes and bring them to my Dad who then rewards him with a treat. It's a game that will go on for about 5 minutes. We know that if you are missing a shoe it is by Dad's chair.



I think Abigail picked up on this game. Yesterday she managed to roll and stretch for all 4 toys that I put out on her blanket. Once she had one, she reached for another one. This went on until she had them all. In this photo, Abigail is laying on one of the toys but has each one by her side. She reminded me of Hunter.

The really funny thing is that as quick as she was to getting all the toys, Abigail rolled over, forgetting about them and started playing with our couch.

She is adorable, Erin! She must have so much fun entertaining herself. . . and I'm sure you have so much fun watching her! She looks like she's going to be crawling around before long!

Who says you can't learn tricks from a dog...no one I guess, but Abigail was paying attention :). She's a fast learner!
