It's Official - Patti of Concorda
 

My dear Yorkie friend's,

After pondering over a name for Brenda's Jcee to whom I am very grateful too, for her generosity, and providing, allowing us to purchase her precious baby, I wish to assure you Brenda I will love and care for her as I did my beloved Kassie Kisses, please let your heart be at ease, and thank you so much for your kindness.

My friend's after tossing a number of names around in my head, I decided in some way, the name had to honor, thank Patti, Connie, Corinne and Dan for as long as my new baby and I lived, that everytime I called the babie's name I would recall, be reminded of the love, these three ladies showed me by putting and bringing this all togeather, culminating with a new precious furball in my life, there aren't enough thank you's in the world to show how grateful I am to them, so my thought was to incorporate their names into my new babie's name, thus whenever I use this name not only will it encompasse, honor them but also all of you my dear friends, for they could not have accomplished this on their own, and I'm sure they will agree, it took the love, support of each one of you in so many way's, so my thought is, I also honor you, everyones participation in making it possible, for putting this precious baby in my arms.

When ever anyone ask me my babies name I will recall to mind all that you my dear friends have done, your many post's of support, encouargement, your sincere condolences in Kassie's and my behalf, for caring, and the many times you brought Papi to tears because of the opening of your hearts to this stranger, in a way I never thought humanly possible, I was in awe from the very first day I came to Yorkietalk, I still remain in total, unbeliveable amazement, I can't believe this happended to me, for me, truly the love, the heart, the spirit of your selflessness, and generousity will be indelibly imprinted in this name, and upon my heart, and if I could, I would envelope all of you within my arms, give you all a big Yorkie hug and a Papi squeeze

Oh yes, the new babie's name is officially, ( Patti of Concorda ) incorporating (Con) Connie - (Cor) Corinne - (Da) Dan.

On a side note, the definition of Concord is harmony/accord, and does that not imbue the spirit, the love of this Yorkie family, for without it, this would never have begun, never have been, and Patti of Concorda and Papi will be forever grateful to you for as long as we live.

I can't wait to travel with my new baby, run into my neighbor's, meet people, and someone's ask me her name, oh what a tail I have to tell, a rather long one at that, for her name is not just a name, for it's all about you my friends, it's a story of love, of Yorkiet Hearts, and how my baby and I came to be, you are our blessing, our miracle.

How is it possible to ever thank you in a way you know is sincere, and from the depths of my heart ?

Here is a start: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, very much

Ever so humbly your friend.

Gratefully

Papi

Note::
Websters New World Dictionary

Concord:< L. Agreement, union <concors (gen.concordis). of the same mind < com-, togeather + cor, heart]
1.agreement; harmony
2. a) friendly and peaceful relations, as between nations.

In this definition, these words, do we not see embellished in our association with and among one another, in the giving and caring hearts, the harmony and agreement, LOVE rooted in the very core, foundation of our Yorkie family ?

OK.... bawling again!! (for some reason it has been frequent this morning!)
How COOL Papi!! I am sure it is an honor for Patti, Connie, Corrinne & Dan ... especailly with all the obvious thinking and effort you gave to come up with such a neat and MEANINGFUL name! It is Perfect!
I will be sending lots of prayers and best wishes for a safe arrival!
Congrats!:animal-pa

Papi, it is so wonderful to know that you will soon have your little Patti to love and comfort. What a beautiful name and so heartfelt that you put sooo much thought into it. It is a joy to be part of this great Yorkie community. The love and joy these little ones bring is just beautiful. You are a wonderful man for thinking of others when you have had such a loss. Your beautiful Kassie will no doubt be forever watching over you and guiding you with your new little girl. I am proud to be a part of this community:)

Papi - her name is beautiful and what a wonderful tribute to the fabulous folks of YT. I can't wait to see photos of little Patti in your arms next week!!!

Oh I have been following the threads and the water works is flying what a great honor you have given to these the wonderful people.

Papi.....what a beautiful choice for her name. And you are so right....telling the story of how she came to be your new little girl. Makes my heart so very happy to know there's some amazing people in this world who give so willing to others.

I cannot wait to see the pictures of you and your baby! Very soon....very, very soon!

Very sweet, Papi! Great name! :)

What a beautiful, loving tribute! Your little Patti is going to be soooo loved. Your posts have touched my heart and I've found myself re-reading them and thinking what a wonderful yorkie parent!

I can't wait to see pictures of you and your little darlin' Patti. I believe Kassie Kisses will be looking down from the Rainbow Bridge and smiling as she watches Patti ease the heartache you've felt since she left.

God bless and keep you:)

Congratulations to Patti of Concorda for finding such a loving home.:)

Awww :) Congratulations!!! I know that you will love her dearly :) Great name!

I think Patti of Concorda is the absolute best name in the entire universe for this precious cargo. You did a wonderful job picking it out. Good luck with your new furball and keep us posted! This story doesn't end when she gets there, ya know? :D

Whats in a name? Everything!
 

Love the name Patti. May you and Patti of Concorda have a long life together.Sending Doggie Kisses to you and Little Patti From my two boys Peanut and Thumper.:ittykiss: :big_hug: :congrats:

Papi...I'm so pleased that you came up with the most meaningful name possible for your new baby!!! Patti of Concorda is absolutely fitting, and she is going to have a wonderful, happy, long and joyous life with her "PAPI". I've been wondering what you would name her...and I LOVE it!!! Kassie, your sweet angel is so proud of you, she would never let this happen if it wasn't meant to be...Remember that. Anxiously, maybe not so patiently waiting for you and Patti to become united...Oh it's so hard to wait...And another thing, it was my pleasure to have taken part in this, it pleases me to no end...and i want to hear lots and lots of stories, not only of your adventures with Patti, but also your sweet memories of Kassie. Hugs to you Papi, and I'm proud to call you my forever friend!!!

Papi, you have no idea how you have touched my heart in the past few days since finding the memorial thread about your terrible loss of your Kassie Kisses. I am not sure if you read my post, but I am going to post it again here:
"OMG! I just found this thread for the first time tonight. I have no words, I am so moved, touched by everything I have read, I'm actually I sitting here hiccuping through my tears, wiping my eyes because I cannot see through the blur. To read about Papi's unimaginable loss... all you wonderful, wonderful people's kind responses, actions and words, from the amazing poems to those simply breathtaking pictures. I feel like I want to shout it to the sky, how amazing you all are, and Papi, I just want to send you sooooo much comfort and love. I know only too well what you went through with your beloved little Kassie. My precious little Tigger had the same horrendous disease last year MHDSRIP.

And so now, I am heading over to the thread on the Yorkie train for Papi's new baby.
Papi, when my Tigger died, I thought my heart would break. I cried so much, was inconsolable for weeks. I want you to know, that when my precious little puppy Mango came bouncing into my life, several months later, with all her ridiculous little antics, she soothed my sadness, restored the smile to my face, lessened the ache I felt for my little boy. She does not replace him, but is such a totally joyful addition to my little family. No matter the bad day, one look at that little face, puts a smile in my heart.....

Papi, I just want to add one more thing...... the reason why you have touched me so deeply. You remind me soooo much of my amazing, wonderful father, who was my best friend his entire, precious life. He too was besotted with his little Yorkie, Toffee. The way you describe the little stories about her, that funny little dance she did........ I can close my eyes and smile, because I see my wonderful Daddy dancing in our garden back home with his precious little furbaby. It takes a truly amazing human being to share with us what you did. Wish I could see you in person, so I could give you the same great big hug that I would give my Dad, if he were still with me.

Bless you, and I can't wait to see your happy ending. With soooooo much love,
Lauren"

Let the name Patti of Condordia always remind you of how many hearts you touched here at Yorkie Talk. I have looked at all your pictures on the gifts a la heart page; they both warm and break my heart at the same time.
In the next few days, we will all be watching as little Patti begins her journey into your life and your loving arms.

PAPI I Love it!;) What a great way to have a tribute to the ladies and Da man :) I will start calling her that as soon as we Pick her up :) I will let you know what is going on with the Move across the country as soon as Barbra and I get together and talk about the time to pick Little Patty up.
Papi My Daughter and I can not wait to meet you and Give you a Huge YT Hug. :ghug:

Water Works
 

Hello Diane,

I appreciate your kind words, and as far as the water works flying, join the club, there isn't any getting away from it here, I have to put on my full regalia of rain gear when I come here, I'm exaggerating somewhat but not by much, I a man, and have never done so much crying in my whole life, as I have here at YorkieTalk the short period of time I have been a member, I'm just glad to know all my male friends, former team mates don't come here and find out how tough I'm not.

Come fly with me.

Papi

Wow! What a wonderful name, and a wonderful tribute to the people that made this possible. This is such a touching story!

Hi Papi! You dear man! I was wondering when you would put Patti of Concorda's name out for all to see! That name fits her perfectly and I was thinking, "Papi and Patti!" They go together well!

Yes indeed...you have touched many hearts here at YT and we all love you to pieces!

I can't wait till Patti is in your loving arms! I just know you will be crying tears of joy! I will too!!!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: yes Ditto Ditto :)

Uh Oh!
 

A very good day my Yorkie friends,

May I thank all of you, for your kind thoughts, I will try to respond to all befor it becomes so overwhelming as on the thread, In Memorial to Kassie Kisses, as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't keep up, and felt terrible as there were many I never replied back to, and my guilty feelings was becoming very stressful as I believed the love shown me was deserving of a courteous, and respectful reply, that wasn't alway's true, I'm sorry to say, so if I may, those of you I never got back to, please forgive me, I am sincerely sorry.

Now to my Uh Oh! and please don't be upset with me but last night a thought for an addition to Patti of Concorda came to mind, I don't know, kind of felt it gave the name sort of a melodic tone, and can't believe I didn't think of it befor as it just seem to fit with Patti, and the word pattycake thus my thought is Patticake or Patticake of Concorda and I believe Patti enjoy's baking cakes, at least I know she is today, as she is baking not one, but two Chocolate cakes for her dear husband Jack's special day, his favorite from what I hear.

Therfore I would like to put this to a vote, have your input on the name please, should I keep it as is now or Patticake ?

Just a brief nay or yay will be appreciated, your vote counts, I will leave this request up till Tuesday morning, May 29th at which time I believe Lori will begin her trek from the heartland to Pennsylvania, pick up her friend Elaine, and complete the journey to Jersey with our new baby, I say our's as it was conceived here by you my freinds, our Yorkietalk Mom's and Dad's, I feel you are the one's who spiritually gave birth to Patti of Concorda - Patticake of Concorda

I will tally the vote Tuesday morning as would like to have it ready for Lori when she picks the baby up, and all goes well, according to plan.

Your Vote Counts +++++++++++++Vote Now +++++++++++++++Vote Here

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++NAY or YAY++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thank you so much for your participation.

Papi

Definite YAY for PATTICAKE!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Vote acknowledged
 

Good day my dear friend laurenr,

Thank you, your vote is acknowledged, we have 1 YAY - 0 NAY

Papi

Papi, Papi, Papi!

I love Patticake! Patticake of Concorda! Besides it would come in really handy in certain situations... for instance if you wrote:

"Patti met so many people during her walk today" I will not know if you are talking about Baby Blessing's mom or your Patti of Concorda! :D

Thank you for putting so much thought into her name. What a gift you have given us. It's our honor to be included.

Corinne

Oh, that's a YAY!

What a touching post...I cannot wait until your little girl reaches your loving and deserving arms. :D

Patticake - YAY!

YAY!!! and I'll get to play Patticake all the way to you :);)

This is such a touching story. I'm so glad your getting this baby. I vote for Patticake as well...;)
