She was Madison; Mattie for short. Actually bred on a sheep farm in Siler City, NC by a farmer who breeds them for ranchers. Travis Tritt the county singer took the litter mate.
Friend of mine had a BC - also named Mattie. Honest Injun! What a co inky dink.
Well, God bless Mattie. Allow yourself to grieve awhile and know that she IS waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge while playing with all the other critters who are waiting, too. She’s safe and happy.
