I was at work one day and had heard this little dog only had a couple hours to live as the shelter was going to euthanize him….I convinced my friend to bring me after work to go get him so he wouldn’t die…I got there and there were so many dogs in cages barking and just wanting us to “pick” them. It was heartbreaking that I couldn’t take all of them home but I was on a mission; there was one dog I had my eyes set on! He may not have been the cutest at all but there was something about him. He sat alone in a cage in the corner not barking at all. He was so quiet with his head hanging. They gave him to me and I promised to take care of him! The whole ride home he wouldn’t lift his head. He just had his head buried in my neck and chest. I got home and he had so many ticks on him! I got some fingernail polish (to put ticks in) and tweezers and I went to work. I spent hours making sure they were all off him. We bonded at that time and he learned to trust me! He loved sitting in my lap. He became my little Cowboy!

I’m so hurt that he is gone! I love that little guy with all my heart!! I never realized how much he meant to my boyfriend either until these last few days as I’ve caught him wiping his tears from his face many times.

So tomorrow it’ll just be me and Cowboy again like the 1st day I got him! He’s headed to the beautiful Rainbow 🌈 Bridge with me by his side!

I made a promise to protect you but I let you down! I am sorry! 😪You will be with me forever though and I’m getting you cremated so you can go wherever I go! It won’t make up for you losing your life but we will be together my little junkyard dog!
