Papi,
I know you have said many times that there is no way for you to thank everyone enough. You may have received the physical gift of a new puppy, a new best buddy, but the rest of us received something very special too. We have a new friend in you, a new little furball to watch grow up. We all know that Patticake will be very loved and very well taken care of.
We also received another very special gift - the knowledge that we can make a positive difference in somone's life; the knowledge that there are good and loving people in this world. People who enjoy helping other people, without expecting anything in return.
Too many times we see and hear about the bad things people do and the bad things that happen in life. I see it way too often, especially at work. It was really great to see so many people band together and do something good for someone else "just because". We all did what we did because we wanted to, not because we thought we had to.
I think it is obvious to all of us how grateful you are. We are also grateful to you. Even though you didn't come to Yorkie Talk with the intention of bringing us all closer, I believe you really have done that.
Okay, okay, I know I'm rambling. I guess what I'm trying to say is you don't need to worry about trying to thank everyone. The best thing you can do to show your appreciation is to continue love Patticake and of course continue to share her pictures and stories with us.
I wish for you and Patticake many, many happy years of love, laughter and puppy kisses.
