Most Recent Reflection
View all 99 ReflectionsI am a very lucky foster mom to Hannah, Officer Abney's personal dog. When I heard that his dog needed a soft place to land in her final days, it took all of 5 seconds for me to say yes. I am so sorry for the reason she is with me and I wish he could see she is happy and as healthy as a 16 yr old dog can be. I did not know Officer Abney but he enters my thoughts frequently. It has been just about a year since Hannah came to live with me and he is in my thoughts again. He has touched my life without me ever meeting him.
