winnie

 winnie died today. the best we know, she ate something (probably in large quantity) while catching cows for jeremy a couple of weeks ago. she seemed to be better for a while and then nosedived this past weekend. 

the picture below is from when she first came to live with me from jeremy's, in 2010. a couple of years before that, winnie came into jeremy's life, badly abused and neglected. for the first year, she crawled around on her belly, too afraid of everything and everyone. she has had a good life since then, never asking for very much of anything, just some food, water and a pat on the head every now and again. winnie was jeremy's fastest cow dog.

jeremy named her winnie because he said she was winsome. she was EM's favorite, "wimmie" was one of her first words. we are thankful that we got to have her gentle and happy presence for a while. rip.
