Pet lady: That's my role in the Miami Herald newsroom. I've been here since 1989, during which time I've had 11 dogs, a ring-necked parakeet, a chicken, and a lizard named Lance. At the moment, I have four dogs, one step-dog, and two cockatiels. A native New Yorker, I came here from Louisville, Ky. I'm a graduate of the University of Arizona, and had a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard in 1988. I have written 309 stories containing the word "dog" in the past 20 years.
Hi everyone! I'm Abby the Labby, a friendly English gal with a wavy yellow coat. I'm 5 years of age with a happy personality. I have a blocky head and everyone asks if I have appeared in dog shows. I love people and play well with other dogs, plus I snuggle with the kitties.Taking walks is a lot of fun for me and I also enjoy chewing my Nylabone. I pride myself on being a good girl.
