Seven Seconds

Abby loves bull riding just like Grandma Lewis. Here she shows how it's done.

First you sit on the back of your 'bull' and hold on to its 'horns.'
Then you say a quick prayer and give your bull a good luck hug.

Let the judges know you're ready with a whoop in the air.

Eventually your 'bull' will buck you off. Take it like a man; no tears.

Make sure your bull has all its teeth for the next ride.

Then take a nap.

Good girl, Gracie. We know you put up with a lot and we love you for it.

Most of the neighbors think Gracie would simply eat them whole and then move on. No one sees the side of Gracie that lets Abby ride her like a bull, pry her mouth open, and pull her ears. We've also caught Abby using Gracie as a step stool and of course a ramming target for her shopping cart.

Even my mom, who I think deep down inside is still terrified of Gracie, couldn't believe how gentle she is with Abby. Now Beth on the other hand... :)
