Above is a photo of “Shabby” Abby, as Jared is calling her until she gets a bath later this week.  She is pretty darn dirty but she cannot have a bath until her stitches come out from the spaying procedure.  This picture makes me giggle, just like the dog makes me giggle, and giggling is always good on Monday mornings.

I’m determined to make this a good, productive week filled with quality time with friends and family with a few chores in between. Here’s to hoping this morning’s energy and good mood lasts for a while.
