Patches
Since it's Monday and it's raining and I'm GRUMPY, and anything I have to say would be bitchy, I'm going to give you this picture of our old dog Patches.
We got her from the pound when she was 8 weeks old. She'd been abused. She's 16 years old now, and almost totally deaf. If you slap your thigh loudly, she seems to feel the vibration and turn around for that. She still LOVES to go for walks, (even though her owners are too fat and lazy to take her often), and she even gallops along when out for a walk. She knows all kind of tricks, and I even taught her one that I saw Fonzie do with his dog a gazillion years ago on Happy Days. She's very smart, and well mannered, and good with children. She adores hubby and spends most of the day waiting for him. She's a sneaky bitch though, because if I'm sitting in the chair she likes to sleep in, she'll go to the door like she has to go out, and as soon as I get over there, she hauls ass and leaps in the chair and stares back at me innocently.
Oh... she also loves the cats... but only when no one is looking!

Is it just me or is your "comment" link missing from your newer posts?

Dogs are so damn smart! She looks alot like a dog I got from the pound that was abused as well. We think by a man because she hated men for a long time...like I said damn smart. ;)
