The 3 Pound Chihuahua that mended a broken heart!
Abby Joy was sent to us by her grateful owner; Norma Neal
“ABBEY IS our 3 POUND CHIHUAHUA! SHE CAME TO US AFTER WE LOST OUR 16-YEAR-OLD chihuahua NAMED SANDY. MY HUSBAND and I DECIDED WE WERE TO HEART BROKEN TO REPLACE OUR BABY and I SPENT many DAYS CRYING. SANDY WENT EVERYWHERE WITH US including WORK, SO MY LIFE felt EMPTY WITHOUT HER.
Even though I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN GETTING ANOTHER chihuahua BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WOULD BE REPLACING SANDY, I SPENT a lot of TIME JUST LOOKING AT PICTURES OF CHIHUAHUAS ON THE COMPUTER. I SAW ABBEY ON A WEBSITE and DIDN’T REALIZE SHE WAS UP FOR ADOPTION. I JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS ADORABLE and DIDN’T mention her to MY HUSBAND.
THE NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND HANDED ME A NAME and NUMBER OF A LADY WHO HAD ONE THAT WAS A YEAR OLD and THE LADY COULD NOT KEEP HER BECAUSE OF HER AGE. HE HAD GOTTEN THE NAME FROM OUR VET. I JUST PUT IT ASIDE FOR THE MOMENT and CRIED. I DIDN’T EVEN LOOK at HER NAME UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY WHEN I realized IT WAS THE SAME LADY THAT I had SEEN ON THE INTERNET!
IT WAS fate! My husband and I HAD CONNECTED WITH THE SAME dog and didn’t EVEN KNOW IT! I KNEW THAT WAS A MIRACLE and that little abbey WAS MEANT to be ours! WE WENT and GOT HER THAT very DAY and SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY WON OUR HEARTS.
WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS AN ORPHAN WHOSE MOTHER HAD DIED SOON AFTER HER BIRTH and SHE WAS DROPPER and BOTTLE FED as a puppy. IT WAS AMAZING SHE MADE IT! GOD MADE HER JUST FOR ME!
Abbey LOVES TO GO TO WORK WITH ME. WE HAVE A BUSINESS SO SHE GOES EVERYDAY and LAYS IN MY CHAIR BEHIND ME WHILE I WORK. Her FAVORITE TOY is NAMED BONEY and SHE KNOWS WHEN YOU TELL HER TO GET HIM! SHE IS A VERY SMART LITTLE dog and SO LOVED.
Abbey HELPED HEAL MY Broken HEART! I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH her! WE NAMED HER ABBEY JOY BECAUSE SHE has BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY into our lives!
Congratulations Norma! Abby Joy is now a fabulous and famous Chihuahua!
Abby Joy is the reason I began this new feature (beginning June 10, 2019). Although it is fun to scroll through all the beautiful photos in our photo gallery, it only allows for a brief description. Only a couple of sentences.
Abby Joy’s story was so touching I wanted everyone to be able to read the whole story and get to know Abby Joy! So, thank you Norma and Abby Joy for inspiring us to do even better!
