This is Lora Parish. I adopted Lilly in July 2025. I renamed her Patches. She wrote a couple paragraphs about her day and I thought I would share with you.
Patches' story...
"Our day starts about 730 when I notice it's daylight. Sometimes I sneak over and we share her pillow. Then we get up and I go outside. I have my own door but I like for Mommy to open the big door. Mommy starts her breakfast and fixes my breakfast. She says I need doggy food to keep me healthy. We eat our breakfast and she lets me have the last couple bites from her plate. Yum.
We usually play tug of war after breakfast. I'm very strong so I always win. She likes that game but after a couple minutes, I'm ready to do something else, like chase a ball or chew on some of my other toys.
We usually watch some TV or listen to a book and i take a nap. But 2 or 3 days a week, she says it's a bridge day, then she gets in the shower. That makes me sad cause I love my Mommy and I want her to be with me. She gives me a nice treat when she leaves. When she comes home, I'm laying on the back of the couch by the front door so I don't miss a second with my Mommy.
Sometimes we go for a car ride. My tummy doesn't like bumpy roads so Mommy got me my own seat cover.
When it's time for bed Mommy always goes in the little bath. So I know it's time for me to sneak down the hall and jump up on the bed. Sometimes she fools me by going in that little bath in the middle of the day and I think it's naptime. When Mommy comes to bed, I crawl under the sheets. I'm very quiet and Mommy goes to sleep. But I sneak out during the night so I can sleep on her pillow."
