On July 29 Patches lost her battle with T-Cell Lymphoma.
Here is the tribute my husband and I wrote for her that was on facebook :
It is with great sadness that we have to tell you we lost our
precious Patches to cancer today. We would like to thank all the caring
people who helped bring Patches into our lives. If you never believed in
love at first sight, you would if you had met Patches. See was quick to
give love and happy to receive it. She was such a good girl and a joy
to have. She excelled at her obedience school as well her agility and
nose work classes. Patches loved to travel and we took her al
most
everywhere we went. From the hot sunny beaches of Texas to the bone
chilling blizzards of Illinois she loved them both. She got to lay in
the grass and enjoy the view of the mighty Mississippi. Then stopped by
to see if the American Pickers were around. Her favorite trip was when
she got her picture taken at the Gates of Graceland and sampled some of
the best barbeque Memphis had to offer.
Patches didn't get to go to as many places as we would have liked. But
the most important place she did go was straight to our hearts It is
there that she will remain forever.
It has been a month and I am still heartbroken and miss her terribly.
