Precious Patrick!

Dearest Patrick, what an absolutely precious fellow you are! To begin with, you're so good-looking, with that long, colorful fur framing your sweet face which looks like you're smiling (and you probably are!). And you have the most delightful personality! Your dear person says you're ".. one of the sweetest dogs I've ever owned." You're a Bearded Collie who, like the Lhasa Apso you think you are, can make yourself small enough to fit in anyone's lap.

And what makes you truly precious is that you're a certified therapy dog! Before the pandemic, you often visited the nursing home and the hospital, bringing smiles to people who didn't have much to smile about. We hope you'll soon be visiting those dear friends again! And you love dressing up for holidays! You're a gentle, loving dog whose soul shines through your eyes. You and your dear family and friends all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home, and spirit, you all share!

Congratulations, darling Patrick, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

Hi Patrick! Happy Dog of the Day to you, sweetheart!:)

Peek-a-boo, I see you!:D Aww! What a beautiful Lhasa...I mean Bearded Collie boy you are, Patrick, the ultimate lap warmer!:cool:

I smiled from ear to ear, Patrick, picturing you compacting yourself into a small ball before climbing up onto your humans laps for a cuddle or two! And not only do you warm your humans laps, you warm the hearts of all of your friends at the nursing and hospital through your work as a therapy dog! Endless thanks to you and your family for your selfless outreach, bringing priceless comfort and cheer to those in need, especially over the holidays! How adorable you must look, donning your festive costumes! Hopefully soon (if not already) you'll be back on the job, continuing to brighten the days of all of your dear friends!

Your outer beauty goes without saying, Patrick, but it's your beautiful spirit that sets you paws above the rest! You truly are a gentle soul, Patrick, just as sweet and loving as can be. As the saying goes, the eyes are the window to the soul, and just one look into your big, soulful, brown eyes tells us all we need to know! How lucky your family is, Patrick, having been blessed with a fur baby as beautiful and giving as you in their lives! They just don't come any more special than you, Patrick! You're the best, one in a million and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

I hope you enjoy a very special Dog of the Day celebration, sweetheart...spending special time with your humans, warming their laps and hearts; enjoying some yummy treats; being loved and pampered to pieces by your family and all of your adoring friends and fans! Loads of love, big hugs and smooches to you, beautiful Patrick, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day!!!:love::love::love:
