Story

Howdy Partner! Looking for a bunkmate? Well city-slicker it's your lucky day cuz I am too! They call me "Cowboy" and I am da stuff real Cowboy movies are made from. I am gritty and tough-looking and, if I may add, devilishly handsome. I am da "John Wayne" of my breed. Now, calm down, before you say "yes", let me tell you about some of MY rules as a new bunkmate: I DONT: Drive, so you will have to drive me to all da dog parks, to da doctors and to all da special fun places. Work, so expect to see me on da couch watching TV or sleeping while you're paying da bills. Cook, so I will expect my chow rustled up and served to me daily. Clean, so if accidently make any messes, you be expected to clean up after me wid no yapping. And finally, I don't particularly like other yappers/dogs and small Hoomans/kids, so I will expect to be da only furball in your life and bunkhouse. (Hey, most cowboys ARE loners) I Will: Pull you all over da yard during walkies if you're not a strong and experienced Hooman. I am a very strong Cowboy! Play wid you in the back yard all day if you toss dat round plastic thingy in da air, dat is my favorite thing to do. I will love you unconditionally as only a dog can do, I will protect you wid all I have and be your forever side-kick; ready to roll when you are. So, what do you think? You want a real "Cowboy" in your life? Come down, bring your posse and rescue me. I will be waiting wid my saddlebag and my chow bowl to ride off into the sunset wid you. Adios and will see you soon Partner!
