Patch!

Our friends got a beautiful dog just over a year ago. His name is Patch and he rules.

Patch, Kristin and I have become quite good buddies and we often "share" him (that's code for stealing) with his owners ;)

Patch is a super well behaved Brittany Spaniel who loves to run, cuddle and chase squirrels. He brings a lot of joy to my life and I feel really blessed every time I get to hang out with him. There's just something about having a pooch around the house that makes me smile. I like being responsible for him (responsibility is one my greatest strengths according to Strengths Finder 2.0), I like having a running buddy, I love watching him slurp his water all over the place and I don't even mind picking up his poop. I think I've fallen in love a little bit…but how could you not!
