The Mug Shot of Patches

Hi! It's me, Patches, again. Mom has been hogging the computer a lot lately and I haven't been able to get my paws on it at ALL. But a couple of weeks ago we went to my "little house" and I remembered how much fun I have there and what a HUGE job it has been to redecorate the place. WOW! When I was about 3 years old, my mom bought me this place which was a NICE, LONG car ride away. The first time we went there (me, Daddy, Mom & my sister Dingo who has gone to the Bridge since). It was a place sort of in the woods, with a big swimming pool they called a lake - a pretty cool place you say --- well, it was, but when we went inside Dingo and I looked all over the place and couldn't find out where the rest of the house was! There was a kitchen (thank God) so they could cook my supper, and there was a bathroom (they liked that) and then a place with a couple of couches - but Dingo and I looked ALL OVER and there was no "rest of the place!! Well, where was it? NO BED FOR ME? Good grief! I could surely see my decorating talents were needed here! Right away I saw the dog next door (what was SHE doing there!) so I proceeded to grab the miniblinds and shook them up real good. It's a lot easier to see out when they are all bent. Later on, Daddy took me down to the big swimming pool and threw me a lot of sticks to fetch. I don't like Fetch - that's just a game for dumb dogs - so I would swim out, get the sticks, and then let them go. (Catch and release). Then when I was all tired out I came out of the water and found a nice patch of dirt to roll in. (a cattledog has to do what a cattledog has to do). Then, when I was nice and dirty and had that good smell from the weeds in the big pool all over me, we went into this "little house" again and guess what! They expected me to sleep overnight here. WHERE! ON THE FLOOR! LIKE a DOG! No chance! I slept on the "couch that became a bed" with Daddy. Sometimes the water in the big pool gets REALLY highand then the pool gets a LOT BIGGER (Daddy calls it a flood). Then it's REALLY fun. You can swim the big pool just almost by going out the door. Then in the morning sometimes the water goes down and there's all this wonderful MUD to roll in. We go to my little house most of the weekends over summer - and it's so much fun. The car ride takes over an hour - and on the way up there's all these great things (like cows and horses) for me to bark like a good cattledog and then I bang against the window of the truck trying to get out. It never works though. Every time we go, Daddy takes me to the big swimming pool and plays stick. Now he knows that I WILL NOT be bringing those sticks back, so he gets a lot of them ready before we go to the pool. Humans aren't so stupit after all (especially Daddy). I think that my little house is the bestest present they ever bought for me. I NEVER have to eat dog food there - there's always LOTS of sticks to drag around and shake up - and most of all the big pool and the floods especially, that make the BEST mud to play in.
