Gary , Don't think that because you didn't pen her up it's your fault in any way . I've had dogs that were and are the greatest escape artist's in the world . I have six foot outdoor kennels we keep them in when we're away and they have tops on them . One of them still finds a way out at times . They stay near the house though and since we don't have any neighbors and live on " the road less traveled " we haven't lost any dogs to vehicles , cats yes dogs no . Let the pain of her loss subside a bit before starting your search for a new companion . More importantly , let the dog pick you . Obviously you're a good hearted person or the dog would have left at the first opportunity . She did once after all . They know character and are very good judges of it . Sit on the floor in a room full of strange dogs and your new dog will come and sit with you in time , guaranteed . In a dogs eyes looks don't matter so why should they for you ? But no matter how you look at them Border Collies are beautiful , exuberant and smart . When I lived in Colorado up in the mountains my wife and I shared our trailer with a pure bred timber wolf . His name was Chuck and he was black , about eight feet long from nose to tail , could drink out of the kitchen sink without taking his front feet off the floor and always insisted on greeting me with a wolfs greeting . They open their mouth's and cover your face with it . The first time a large wolf did that to me I got pretty nervous . By the time we Got chuck I was ready to deal with a headstrong animal like him . He was NOT a pet , he was a very wild animal . He did not do ANTHING he didn't want to do , ever . He taught , I learned . I taught , he ignored , I learned some more . Anyway , that was 22 years ago when I was 29 . Dogs are different from wolves in attitude but not as different as one might think . I hope the memory of Cowgirl stays with you forever but try not to judge other dogs by her . You'll only disappoint yourself BTDT . She was one of a kind and the next one you get will be one of a kind also , just be open to the kind of personality it has and bring out the best in it like you did with Cowgirl . It'll happen . ...Randy
