This little Border Terrier will be truly missed by my sister. Below is a poem she has written that best described her little companion that kept her company for the past 10 years.
"Holly"
So cute you are little Border Terrier
Whether closely shorn or hairier
Rain, snow, sleet; no matter what pours
Kin from Northumberland's harsh shores
My life you fill with joy and hearty laughs
In the house; teasing, kissing, snuggling naps
Out the door; a wild predator, oh so fun
Chasing squirrels, rabbits, bugs in the sun
Roll over tricks for a doggie bone
You keep me young and not alone
You take me places I would never go
Dog companion, sniffing weeds, exploring a hole
For this little pet thank you God; I do
She depends on me for everything, and I on You
