Patches was the family pet. And for a family pet she was great. Great with kids and people. She had her perks but what dog didn't. She was family, very big part of the family. She loved running outside. If she could chase a snowmobile or four wheeler she would. Anyone that would stop by had to know that she was there. If not sitting by she would try to climb on you lap or be right underneath your feet. Bedtime was fun also. She slept in my room and she would always fall asleep before i would and i could hear her snoring. And during the middle of the night she would climb in my bed and sleep at my feet. My big feet heater. She was a great friend and a big part of the family that will always have a space for her. I love you so much Patches.
