Gertrude was my best friend! She was a German Shepherd / Border collie mix with a heart of gold. I rescued her at only 7 weeks old and we spent 13 wonderful years together. She was such a funny,silly,smart,loving, caring furbaby!Gertrude absolutely loved the rose bushes we planted. She would smell the flowers every morning when they were blooming. She loved putting her face into the wind with her nose up to the sky and just soak in the day or cuddle with some covers watching a movie or reading a book. I could spend forever talking about her. I miss her so much. She crossed the rainbow bridge july 21, 2019 to a major stroke. I miss her dearly. Mornings are the wose for me. I still wake up some mornings and roll over to pet her before I remember she is not here. She is buried in my yard under a big tree. I cut some rose blooms off our roses and place them on her grave cause she loved them so much. There are still rough times for sure. She was amazing!
