| Chip |
"The best dog I ever had."
Well Chip was a fine Border Collie
Nearly always good natured and jolly
Now she's gone from our home
Greener pastures to roam
Leaving even the sheep melancholy
But surely the shepherd on high
Needs a dog for his flock in the sky
By the heavenly gate
She will lie down and wait
'Till the voice from above says "come bye"
by Barb Larka (Friend, Veterinarian, Fellow dog lover)
The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master.

Chip had excellent intuition when working with various livestock. Plenty of power to move ornery cows by biting them on the heels, and quickly ducking to avoid their kick. However, she would never put her mouth on young lambs, but would knock them down with her shoulder instead, so I could catch them. There will never be another dog like Chip.

That'll do Chip.....Good girl
A good dog never dies. He always stays. He walks besides you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter's drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way.
