Every cowboy needs a good cow-dog. My Cowboy is no exception. We have been wanting to get a puppy for years but it hasn’t really been possibility, because of the rental houses we have lived in. Ten months ago, however, we moved out to My Cowboy’s family’s ranch- the perfect place to have a puppy! In my twenty-four years of experience, I don’t think hardly ANY dogs are as happy and content as ranch dogs. 

Cows to chase, wide, open spaces to run around and discover, other dog-friends, owners who love animals, what could more could a puppy want?!

Any-who, how cute is my puppy? His name is Cache. I love him.

We are buds.

He still gets in trouble a lot.

A couple of months ago, when we were still puppy-shopping, my sister sent me a meme labeling a box full puppies as anti-depressants. I laughed, then told My Cowboy he better get me a puppy. And Soon. And he sort of did- in a “it took two more months kind of way”. That is okay though, I love him too. He even found me my absolute favorite kind of puppy-a fluffy border collie with white on his face!

A few weeks ago, I was sick enough I spent a couple of days mostly on the couch resting. During those days, I found “Babe” on Netflix and watched it for the first time in YEARS. It was one of my absolute favorite movies as a kid so it was great to see it again after so long. Does anybody remember the puppies on that show? They are fluffy border collie puppies with white on their faces. You know, they were that ideal puppy I was searching for and they were so cute! So cute that I was even more determined to find one just like them that I texted My Cowboy and reminded him we needed a puppy like those ones on “Babe”- and ASAP.

Side note: this picture cracks me up.

Now, back to the puppies being like a box of anti-depressants part. We live in the middle of nowhere. While there are many wonderful things that I love about that, I spend a lot of time alone and some days, most days, I get lonely. That is another reason I told My Cowboy he better get me a puppy- I needed a little companion, a little friend. Yes, a friend, because he is my friend and I even talk to him sometimes, or a lot of times. 

Just look at those puppy-dog eyes!
