Hi Gary!

Oh thankyou....that was so sweet of you.  Her name is Bonnie.   She was 14 years old.   Bonnie died a couple months.   It was a horrible horrible shock.  She was fine in the morning and then she took a walk and I couldn't find her for the whole afternoon till later that evening by the side of the dirt road in a ditch just sitting there not knowing where she was.  I got her to the emergency vet clinic and she had a temperature of 105, her heart beat was over 200 a minute, her blood pressure was off the charts.  She was extremely critical and they didn't think she would make it through the night as she was in severe pain.  They thought she possibly had a tumor that burst.  The best thing was not to let her suffer and ease her pain and I had to let her go to heaven with a quick painless injection.  It was the hardest thing I had to do and I have been so depressed.  She was my world.  And yes, your words of her adoring me was "exact".   She adored me and worshipped the ground I walked on.  She was a throw away dog, a border collie that someone dropped off on the side of the road that I rescued.  She actually rescued me...She was literally glued to my hip and I took her everywhere with me....I mean everywhere.  To all my jobs she went, not one place was she not ever with me.  She was never on a leash.  I would go into Home Depot and she would walk right along my side and I would point to something in an aisle, she would go and get it and carry in her mouth to the register with a happy butt shaking a mile a minute of just sheer joy of carrying something for me and just happy to be with me and people would literally stop in their tracks always saying they had never seen a dog so well behaved and smart as she and just wished their dog was like Bonnie.   She was the best of the best of the best.   There will never be another dog so beautiful as my little girl was.   I buried on my little tract of land facing the pond with my  horse, Timmy, my best bud, my horse of 34 years who I just lost  3 months prior and the same exact way Bonnie died and who I had his whole life.

Thankyou for the beautiful comment you made of Bonnie.  That is one of my most favorite pictures I have of her.  Her eyes she never took off of me as like the picture shows.  Here are a couple more pictures that aren't so tiny you can see of her and she has the same pose in them.  It's like she posed for every picture.  The one of me and her on the porch of my little shack...believe it or not these were selfie pictures as I live by myself and in that particular picture I told Bonnie to go and jump in the red rocker and sit there while I set the timer on the camera and then I ran to the porch so quickly and sat down in front of her and when the picture snapped, it turned out like this!  She was looking right into the camera....oh my gosh, I just couldn't believe my little Bonnie. The picture of her sitting on the farm table was taken at an arts and crafts show I did one one year and I would bring furniture props for my booth set up and of course Bonnie was at my side.  I was unloading furniture off my truck and I turned around and there she was sitting on top of the farm table she jumped up on as she watched me.... She was my world.
