Every dog has their quirks, and Abbi, the ever-charming pup, is no exception. While other dogs might chase tennis balls or beg for belly rubs, Abbi has a very specific weekly tradition: the Staring Contest. It’s a showdown she takes very seriously, and she’s undefeated—for now.

It usually starts the same way. Abbi will position herself in the perfect spot, locking eyes with her chosen challenger (typically one of her humans). Her expression is intense, her gaze unwavering, as if she’s saying, “This is my moment, and I’m here to win.” The rules are simple: no blinking, no looking away, and definitely no distractions. Abbi always seems to have the upper paw, her dark eyes filled with determination. Her humans, on the other hand, often find themselves cracking under the pressure. Whether it’s laughter, an accidental blink, or simply being outmatched by Abbi’s sheer focus, the contest usually ends in her victory. Sometimes, she’ll even add a little flair to her performance. A subtle head tilt, a twitch of her ears, or the tiniest hint of a wagging tail—just enough to throw off her opponent’s concentration. Abbi clearly knows how to use her charm as a weapon in these battles. The funniest part is the moment she wins. As soon as her human looks away or blinks, Abbi breaks into a big, satisfied grin, her tail wagging furiously. It’s as if she knows she’s the reigning champion and can’t wait to bask in her glory. While the weekly staring contest may seem like a silly game, it’s also a special bonding moment. It’s Abbi’s way of connecting, showing off her playful personality, and keeping everyone on their toes (and occasionally making them question who’s really in charge).

And so, each week, the tradition continues. Abbi takes her spot, her gaze sharp and ready, daring anyone brave enough to challenge her. Win or lose, the contest always ends with laughter, love, and one very proud pup. After all, for Abbi, it’s not just about winning—it’s about having fun and reminding everyone that she’s the star of the show.
