    You know I love dog stories, and firmly believe writing about them when they’re gone is therapeutic. Very cute photo of Patches.

    That made the tears well up in my eyes. He was such a great dog. He was so sweet and mild-tempered…you’re right, he was the perfect pup for us 😛 I never will forget about that convertible – it was too funny!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane 🙂

    Hi, I remember Patches like it was yesterday. He was so very sweet and adorable. It was so good to read your story about him. Makes me happy and sad at the same time. He came into your lives at the perfect time.

    Hi, lovely reminiscence on Patches. Sounds like the meeting at the shelter was a strong strange attractor in the iterations of the lives of three, two bipedal and one with ‘four-on-the-floor’. What a lucky little being to have been found by loving folks and accepted into lives so deeply.
    I’m glad you’ve got a portrait of him in a usual hangout, to add context to memories.

    Here’s to absent friends and family >clink<.
    cheers,
    pete

    I liked reading this. I have a 5 year old yorkie here in Plano, who is my baby 🙂 I don’t have any children of my own, so I really do treat her as my little baby. She had gotten really sick when she was about 2 years old and I thought I was going to loose her. I was sooo destraught & depressed for those couple of days. She did pull through, but I can’t imagine what I’m going to do when she does leave me 🙁 I can’t even think about it…

    Dogs Rule! Gotta love a shaggy dog. And they just don’t last long enough. Patches looks like a great dog, and I totally understand the emptiness you have felt. Farleigh just turned 12, and is beginning to show her age, but I think she has a few more good years, but I dread the inevitable.

    I taught myself web design 12 years ago when my previous dog, Gusto went to the Rainbow Bridge.

    Warning, please don’t go there if you don’t want to cry, and if you do, take some tissue.

    I was a wreck for a month after he died, and it wasn’t until I finished that site that I was able to move on.

    Another Landslide brought me down.

      What a beautiful dedication to Gusto. There is something about a shaggy dog. Watching them grow old and sick is the hardest thing.

    Was checking in on your blog and so sorry for the loss of your Patches. Been there, done that, will have to do it again and it never gets easier.

    Also read Brad’s tribute to his dog above, what a nice tribute page.
