Aww, Janet, Abby is going to love being inside with you. 
That is so cute. I always do a treat for bed with a Night Night command. Maggie doesn't mind one bit regardless of time of day. And the other day easy child came and honked when she picked me up for grocery shopping........and Maggie (who gets put into her crate 99 percent of the time when I leave) has learned that honk means Mom is leaving.....went to her crate herself and waited for her treat. lol It will be a while before Maggie will be sleeping nights out of her crate. But she no longer naps in it. Living room is off limits via baby gate because she wants to chomp the furniture like a big toy, so she can only be in there when someone is watching her.
If the gate and the hole in the fence wasn't an issue (along with the exposed garden), I'd let Molly and Maggie out to play in the yard and do their business first thing for about an hour or so at least, then a couple of hours in the evening. But I have to watch it right now because of that darn clasp issue. Maggie I know would LOVE to have the run of the whole yard, and it would be good for her.
Sounds like you and Miss Abby are gonna be best buds though.
