Cowgirl, was my constant friend and companion for 14 1/2 years. She came to me at a time when I had already lost another dog. I fell in love with her the first time I held her at 8 weeks old. She stayed by my side and never let me down. She was 1/2 border collie, so she was very athletic. She would play fetch with a ball or toy, until my arm would fall off. She wanted to serve and love. That was her nature. When I would come home, she would follow me around the house and lay down to watch and make sure I was not alone. Always protecting me from the mail man or anyone who dared to come to the front door. Her bark was strong and loud as she protected. But she always knew when enough was enough and would calm down with my telling her it was alright. She was a strong and beautiful dog. When my sister passed away, she was my comfort and constant care giver. She was strong until the very end, she was diagnosed with cancer in December 2018 and she fought till the end, even walking up the steps to the vet’s office for her final day. I wondered if I did the right thing, even knowing her pain was so bad. But, I am so grateful to God, for allowing me to be there when she took her last breath and held her until the end. God knew she could do no more, and I guess I knew it was time. Cheryl at the HRB is a wonderful caring person and I am so grateful to her and her company for giving me a way to honor my sweet Cowgirl. I will see her again, at Heaven’s Rainbow Bridge when the Lord calls me home…she will be waiting and I know it will be a joyful time. Rest in Best my Dear Pup….I love you and always will.
