Patsy ?/1995 - 3/5/2013

We adopted Patsy in 1996 and I named her for my favorite TV character, Patsy, from Absolutely Fabulous.

Patsy was such a character, vocal and in her younger days, very athletic. She could climb a 6 foot cement block fence with ease, especially during softball/baseball season. She would head over to the fields across the street from our house and hang out begging for nachos and hot dogs.

We were told when we adopted her that she was a pitbull mix. I didn't see it, but that is what we were told. We finally did DNA testing; Boxer, Golden retriever and Samoyed.

Patsy was the best foster mom to every dog we have ever brought into our home. She was gentle, loving and patient. She loved to have a plush/squeaker toy and would just carry them around with her and tease you with them.

I miss Patsy very much but am glad I had the honor of being her mommy for so many years.
