As her father, Abby has lived through several pets in our family (probably around 15); from dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, she was always the "pet whisperer." Yes, as the "dad or authority" all the pets loved/respected me, but they ALL adored her as well. Experience in grooming, washing, playing, loving, cage changing, feeding, cleaning up, comforting on the 4th of July, doctoring, and even death. - she has done it all. From a two pound Chihuahua (Gunny) to a 160 pound Pyrenees (Thaddeus), and similarly with all our cats, you would do well to consider Abby to care for your extended family members. In relation to her heart, there are few bigger than hers, when it comes to animals of every kind. Have a super day.
