Your humble and grateful.

Papi it is so nice to hear what's been going on between you two.
Pattycake is adorable and what a face she has. You did a great job
with the trim and what a good girl she was sitting for her pappa to
make her beautiful. Yes she certainly has a thick coat, she's just
one ball of fur isn't she? Everyone needs a purpose to get up in the
morning and I am just so very happy you now have yours. Bless you
and keep well.

Buddy and I will be sending a special package soon for Pattycake.
Give her a hug from us

You can see how thick her coat is in the pictures. It really is very thick.
Do you think she will have a cottony coat or silky one when the puppy
coat leaves her? Maybe hard to tell yet. Pattcake is really a cutie pie.
She looks like a little baby bear cub:p

Lori and Bre I hope this finds you home safe and sound. There are not words to express the gratitude we all have felt for you time and travel and expense and kindness and updates and photos. And Bre, I know that was a long time in the car and from what I have read you are a little angel. Lori, please don't think I have forgotten to send $$ but the dr. has not released me to drive yet and my hubby is sticking close to the house because of all the builders showing up. I will get it off shortly. Thank you again for EVERYTHING. Patty

Good evening my friends,

I was going to begin relating our meeting on Saturday, June 2nd with Elaine, Lori and Bre and Patticake, but was anxious to get some images of Patticake for you to see, the first 3 are on Kassie and my thinking, meditation rock, and Patticake befor I gave her a trim.

I can't tell you how much I so love Patticake, she is more than I could have ever expected or hoped for, and oddly I see so many things in her as in Kassie, I can't believe she bonded to me in a matter of a few day's, I can honestly say we're attached at the hips, just so unbelivable, she 's funny, oh, ever so smart for a 4 month old, she's fiesty, rambunctious, testy and aggressive in a playful way, already loves going for car drive's, and has her nose to window just like Kassie, it didn't happen suddenly, I took her on more than normal short drive's to get her used to traffic and noise, went to convient store more than usual, parked right in front so she could get accustomed to a lot of people, she has amazingly in such a short period become acclamated to many new experiences for her, I'm am in total awe, if I didn't know better, I would say, think, Kassie is in her, then this may just be natural for Yorkie's, she has already become my shadow, I can't move, go to any room without her right there, she even as Kassie, follows me in bathroom, sit's and wait's till I'm ready to leave, in 5 day's she has become so much like Kassie, that I feel Kassie never left, yesterday she learned to go up and down 2 flights of stairs, 12 steps, special treat's I have did the trick, there is so much more I can tell you, I'm trying to fit much more than I possibly can right now, in one post, I'm just so excited about her, and love her so very much, she is just so adorable and affectionate, she has given me a new spirit, and awakening if you will, life is once more so beautiful, a joy, the loneliness is gone, I have a companion who by the way is sleeping in bed with me, up against me, and I haven't slept so restfully, all night in months, ahhhhh sweet sleep, just what the doctor prescribed along with a Yorkie to love for good health and a hearty appetite.

My dear, dear friends, Patti, Corinne, Connie, Lori and Elaine thank you for making this all possible, and all you my friends for your love and the overwhelming support you provided in so many generous way's to them, they could never have accomplshed this extroidinary miracle without each and everyone of you, nor would I have ever had the ability to have another Yorkie, precious Patticake in my life, I will never be able to thank you in theway you are so deserving of, I can only offer you my sincere, and heartfelt gratitude for bringing joy, and happiness back into my life, I don't know if you will ever understand the depth of what all your love and generosity has done for me, perhaps one word may sum it up "life" wanting to get up in the morning, a will to live. truly how would it be possible for me to ever thank you enough, I thank you my friends for giving Patticake to me, thank you very much.

Your humble and grateful.
Papi

Wow...this thread is soooo long, I just can't keep up and find time to read all the posts! It is a thread I do come back to quite often because it gives me such a warm feeling in my heart!

I heard from Lori today and she was short on funds for the trip. We've now reached the amount needed to pay Patti and Jack back, so if there is anyone wishing to donate, please get in touch with Lori to find out what her Paypal is. Here is what the trip cost and what was spent: 990.99 for the trip and the donations were $853.45 so we were $137.54 off.

Lori didn't ask me to post this or ask for donations, but I thought I would since Lori spent a week out of her life traveling to make ours and Papi's dreams come true.

Thanks, Lori and Bre...you are angels on earth!
