Meet my giant teddy bear and the love of our family’s life Cowboy. Cowboy was adopted at 4months old from Animal Friends of the Valley in Lake Elsinore, CA. Cowboy is now 8years old and he is our protector. At night he checks all the rooms before he goes and lays down between the 2 bedrooms where his boys sleep. Cowboy does not like being outside unless one of us are with him. Hes our gentle Giant

Cowboy is an inside dog. If you let him out side to do his business, as soon as he is done he wants back inside. He loves water, car rides, playing fetch. He knows many comands like opening the front door. Cowboy is an alpha male. He has a buddy's name is Ranger. Ranger was adopted shortly after Cowboy because we thought he needed a friend.

I am unemployed due to Covid. and I am on a fixed income. I was able to apply for care-credit but it just wasn't enough. I spent everything I had on the first vet I took him too that said he had IBS. I am 2 months behind on my mortgage and I have several late bills .

Cowboy started having diarrhea so I started him on Chicken and rice. He started vomiting a short time later. I took him to the vet on Friday 5/29 and they gave him fluids and IV meds. Sunday he was vomiting and could not hold his bowel. I could tell he was declining so I took him to Emergency Pet Clinic of Temecula and he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and still cant hold his bowel.

Cowboy is a very smart dog. He was housebroke in 1 week, he learned sit, stay, lay down, open the front door and how to throw a cracker in the air and catch it. He plays in the water every time the hose comes on. Hes old but sometimes that puppy in him comes out. Cowboy is a very vocal dog he loves to talk.
