No, Abigail, you don't have to leave your special friend here, he can go back home with you! We would like you to meet Maureen McClure's two "babies", Abigail , on the left, and Kirby. Kirby is a yellow Labrador Retriever, born on August 10, 2000, and pictured here at his Puppy Plan appointment on November 2nd, when he weighed 23.6 pounds. Maureen tells us that Kirby is "sweet as sugar", and a wonderful friend of Abigail's. It is fun to watch a young child and a special puppy grow to  love each other, and be such  good friends!
