I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have so many wonderful responses from all of you. I just posted a permanent tribue to Patches on the site In-Memory-of-Pets.com and I sat here sobbing. Rascal and I miss Patches terribly. Sweet Rascal is doing his darndest to fill in the void - trying to sit on my lap in her place. But at 15 pounds it is like having a huge glob of dough on your lap. I am so grateful he wandered into the yard and selected my home as his own. Patches was so vocal and loving that the void is just huge.

Again thank you all for the love, support and prayers.
