GReat job finding Patch his very own ...Hey Ms. Kim,<br />GReat job finding Patch his very own stage to perform on. He'll be happier and everyone else will be too. We've kinda got a similar situation with Shelby Belle. She really needs a home where she can be the only star. She has problem with other dogs, especially smaller girls like herself. She only pushes the bully boys so far before they "ask" her to knock it off. Dad is reluctant to place her with a shelter; the responsibility issue. The problem is currently being handled by placing Shelby with the boys in the paddock while Sophie and her two princesses, Abby and Patti hold court in the house. Abby seems to be the target for most of Shelby's hostility. <br />Now to deal with your pitiful, but momentous, display of guilt that you so aptly described in this post. Did we get this straight? To console yourself about finding patch his own happy home, you treated yourself to an infamous HYPOCRITICAL SNACK. Two fresh hot Krispy Kreme doughnuts and A DIET COKE. That's like when dad goes to Ronald's House of Beef and orders a Big Mac, Jumbo Biggy Fries, a Cherry Turnover and , yes, A DIET COKE. What's that all about? Did you two go to the same health school or something. We hold ourselves in amazement at the caloric absorption power of Diet Coke. Hey Luigi, I'll have a double serving of lasagna, s couple of slices of double cheese pepperoni pizza, a cannoli to top it off and, oh yes, A DIET COKE. There is an obvious solution to the dilema that you and dad place yourselves in. Next guilt trip, you guys should just order a super duper biggie CLASSIC COKE to go with whatever gluttonous "snack" you're contemplating ordering.<br />- TBH&KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-15055769367259620752010-06-27T07:25:20.618-04:002010-06-27T07:25:20.618-04:00That's good that Patch has found a forever hom...That's good that Patch has found a forever home.

I would have needed the windscreen wipers on all the way back just to wipe away the tears!! I guess the one little consolation is that you gave Patch a chance that he may never have had if it wasn't for you.
