Hi, everybuddy! It's me, Patches! We just want to let you all know that we are going to be okay. Okay, maybe not right away, but with all of your support and prayers, we are headed in the right direction!
Here, for your viewing pleasure, is a rare photo of Penny! Mom sneaked up on her when she was sleeping. She must have really be out because the flashy box didn't even wake her up! Maybe she was resting up for her big barkday celebration on Sunday. She will be 11 years old!
This is the last picture our mom took of Poppy. It was taken about 6 or 7 hours before she went to the bridge. We still miss her a LOT, but we are comforted by the fact that we know she's with our dad now. We are also very glad that she didn't suffer and that she showed no symptoms until about an hour before she left.
In other news from around here, our mom went to the Social Security office and found out that because she's OLD, she does qualify for some of our dad's benefits. Woohoo! That means that we get to keep our house! It sure is nice to get some GOOD news, for a change!
Our mom is trying to eat full meals again. Sometimes she succeeds and sometimes she doesn't, but that's okay. She is also sleeping all the way through the nights, unless, of course, we feel the need to pounce on her head or bark at nothing.
Thank you to all of you who have prayed for our strength. It's working, so please don't stop!
Aire-hugs,
Penny and Patches

Wow! An actual photo of Penny! Your mom must be very sneaky.
I guess sometimes being OLD is a good thing because it means you can stay at your estate. Keep moving forward.

Penny, you are so photogenic -- you should give that flashy beast more opportunities to sneak up on you!
We are so so glad to hear the good news. Since our mom and dogdad are old too -- we're glad that sometimes good comes from reaching a certain age!
Lots of wirey love to you all!!

We are so happy to hear that you are hanging in there. Good job of your mom to sneak up and snag that photo of Penny.
Your friends,
Niamh & Ambrose
We are glad to hear the news that you will be able to keep your home - that would have been the "straw that broke the camel's back" if you had to give it up.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. Hang in there - I don't know that the sadness will ever completely go away, but it will subside.

Great combined sigh of relief on the house news...WHEW. One down, 653 more to go.
Yeah, muzzer is old too, so she "retired" and is staying home with us. Hey! Wait a minute! Why does she leave almost every day??
Oh, she says sometimes the terriers drive her out the front door.
OKAY! Next time I get the keys!

Thank you for your reply to me and I totally understand on the one photo. I did add Ms. Poppy as much as I hated to, but am comforted also that she is with her daddy. We worry about our dear friends and were especially concerned for you and your family. No words, just know we think about you everyday.

It's really nice to hear some good news about the house. Even being considered old is good- LOL. But you're not- only as old as you feel and some days that will be more than others. Hang in there- we're praying for you.
I'm grinning like a fool for your mom Patches. What good news. Little by little things will get better, take care of her while she hangs in there Patches. And give her the paws up from me and Mom for being so very, very brave. Still thinking of you all. Take care all.
