SPOTZ
ode to a cowdog

Spottie girl, I still see you
I can hear your tags jangle
Yippee ki ay! A smile every day!

Rotten Spotz, Spottie Rotten
You took my heart with you
What a good girl! Best dog in the world!

River dog, I still miss you
Floating downstrean beside me
A splash and a grin - the first to dive in!

Spottie Roux, when I get there
I know you'll be waitin'
Ten paces ahead - asleep on my bed


SPOTZ was with us five years. This ole girl let me know if the phone rang while I was gone or outside, sang with me, slept part of each night with each of us, was loved far and wide by all who knew her. We got her free from a ranch, and I fell in love with the breed and will forever own ACD. We now own Yuba, a red merle. Ahh, but Spottie left impossibly big pawprints to fill. I still miss her every day and it has been almost four years.
