Dory's Smiley-Fest 2009 - Official Entry :)
I want to thank everyone who commented on Patachou my sweet baby.
I think this is my all time favorite pic of Patachou. I have it as my computer background. Patachou was pretty much a happy boy all the time. He loved to pose for pic and LOVED wearing cloths. Here he is smiling at me lying on my bed. He loved my bed (who wouldn't love a king sized bed lol) and never once lay on the 3 rottie sized orthopedic beds I bought when he was diagnosed with hip dysplacia etc lol. He loved women and petite blond female dogs, but most of all he loved me and I loved him so much it still hurts. He was my heartdog and I know I'm so lucky to have had him in my life when I needed him the most.
Ok better stop there before I start crying again.

We love that pic too. We understand about Patachou, he has a special place in your heart and that is how it should be. Good Luck xxxx
Good luck!!!!!
Did I tell you my daughter started 4H with Chaos on Monday. She'll be doing obedience and showmanship!
Great choice!
Mom says she understands this 'heart dog' thing -
I wonder why she says that?!?
Tank woo fur sharing these memories!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
What a wonderful picture! He sure does look as though he's smiling for you.
I think all of us has one heartdog. Mine was Scott who passed away recently and until now I still miss him. Nice photo!

It is a miserable thing to lose a ♥dog. Sometimes you can look back and smile and sometimes when you look back a cold wind blows through your heart all over again. I know. It happens to me. Because I can't imagine life without animals in my life and home, I will go through penetrating sadness many times before I die - but, I cannot live my life without them.
I am so sorry this darling boy had to leave too soon. There is never a good time to say good-bye to someone you love - you always want one more day...
Great choice and your reasons make it all the more special. Good luck.
Tail wags, the OP Pack
what a great choice... :) maybe you can enter the other picture in Anna the GSD'd tongue contest! :)
Lovely picture -- your baby looks so happy (bet you have so many great memories).
I went to Dory's, but your pic wasn't up there :-(
Thanks Melissa. No you didn't, how cool is that. I bet both DD and Chaos will love it!!!
Thanks Martha & Bailey. Patachou was def one of a kind.
Thanks Brandy. He was a big time smiler. He converted many a rottie-fearer to rottie-lover!
Thanks Khyra. I love that pic since it really shows his sweet side!
Thanks Al. I've really been blessed for having him in my life. I hope to have another heartdog again. Im soo sorry for your loss of Scott!
Thanks Scout & Freyja. Im always going to have dogs, I need them in my life or it feels too empty. It hurts when ever one leaves but I always feel I've learned so much from them!
Thanks Brownie. I don't have as many pics as I would have like which is why I've taken a lot of my girls.
Thanks OP pack :) And there are so many more reasons lol but didn't want to end up writing up a novel lol.
Thanks Marianne. He was a total sweetie and very rumbusious when he was young lol. I think I saw an email for Dory letting me know she had received my entry. Have to go and double check :)
That is a great smiley picture!
Oh, that is the most gorgeous smile!!!
We bought an orthopaedic bed for Honey too (she doens't have any issues but we just thought it might be better to prevent athritis developing in old age)...well, she hated it and refused to sleep on it - even preferred the floor! Had to give in in the end and return her beloved beanbag...!

Hi Anne,
Patachou had a winderful smile.
Thanks for wishes us look in the Halloweiner contest.
Mommy sent 25.00 into DROH for Travis with the money she was gonna spend on the prize for my contest. Thanks so much frpm all of us at DRoh for thinking about Travis.
Love ya...Mona & Mommy too!!
Thanks Tobi. I just love that pic since it really showed his true colors!
Thanks Hsin-Yi. He love flirting with the girls for sure lol.
I know I spent a fortune on those beds (got 3 of them lol). Nanuchy my grouchy one is the one that actually uses them lol.
Thanks Mona and Sarah :) I know Patachou would have loved all the doxies (except the black ones)
Im happy to have been able to at least help a little bit towards Travis's bills :)
Dear Anne-Katherine
I can just imagine what you went through with Patachou (and still go through)...and I can't bare the thought - knowing that Max will be gone too one day. He is my own 'heart dog'. I have never experienced something like this. Each day brings a new blessing and I often think:: "I must have done something right!".
THey are with us for such a short time but our lives are so much richer as a result. Each moment is preserved as a fond memory.
We hold onto those memories with you.
Good luck!
MAX'S MOM IN SA
Thanks Max's Mama. When I met Patachou for the first time at 2 week old it was like part of my heart and soul had been restored. I swear it was love at first sight/touch between us. I hope you have many many more wonderful years with Max. Give him an extra hug from me in Patachou's memory!
Sweet post. It makes me miss my Tonka. I can tell what a great person you are based on how you talk about your pets. Patachou was lucky to have you.Good luck!
Thanks Kasha you are too sweet. Patachou was a great dog who got into trouble like all good puppies lol. But I wouldn't change any of the time we had together!
