My Merle Collie

I had a Merle collie, Cindy was her name; She was sleek and beautiful, football was her game. She'd play with a ball for hours, her skills were quite refined, She would even head it to me if she felt so inclined. We climbed a mountain range, one cold and wintry day; She dashed around everywhere, how she loved to play. When she reached the summit she flopped down out of breath, I couldn't leave her lying there freezing half to death! I carried her down the other side, my she weighed a ton! Afterwards it seemed worthwhile seeing her having fun. Robert Cartwright-Davidson 5th July 2011 entry for Pick a Pet Competition
