Doggie Obituary
Abigail Road Hall
1991-2006
Abbey was a pure-bred english bulldog born on a privately owned apple orchard in Sunnyside, Wash., July of 1991. She was the daughter of the award-winning english bulldog Chicken George. The Halls of Redmond, Wash. drove over the Cascades to pick her up and return her to her soon-to-be home of fifteen years.
Abbey's original name was "Fergie", named after the princess of Wales. Thomas Hall, her foster father, renamed her because he didn't want to be yelling "such a stupid name" out to the neighborhood when calling her back into the house from the yard. He named her after his favorite Beatles album, only appropriate with her being an "english" bulldog, of course.
Some of Abbey's favorite activities were pulling towels from the bathroom and shaking them ferociously, going for walks, playing catch with her tennis ball, sitting on the heat vents on cold mornings, falling asleep on the back deck on warm and sunny days, having her back and ears scratched, being visited by Grandma and Grandpa Anderson, begging for food, eating crumbs off of the kitchen floor, and being fed.
Abbey peacefully passed away the night of March 26, 2006 in her sleep due to natural causes. She was approximately 105 dog-years old. She survived by her foster mother Paula Hall, foster father Thomas Hall, foster brothers Daryl and Dylan Hall, foster sister Lauren Hall, and foster grandparents Loretta and Robert Anderson. Abbey will be cremated, cherished, and missed.
