Patty

Patty is a very large bloodhound. You really can't tell how big she is until you get in the yard with her. My husband and father in law have had her for awhile. She was the only puppy in her liter to survive. When she was little my father in law would let her sit on his lap..that didn't last too long because she got big in a hurry. But she still thinks she is a lap dog. She loves to sit on your feet when you go see her and you can't move. A few years ago my father in law went in her yard and she knocked him over then sat on him licking him..he couldn't get up for a while. She does really well with male dogs, not so much with female dogs. We don't think she would hurt them but she does use her body and weight to push other dogs around. Her best friend for a long time was a Chihuahua named Shorty. She is over 100 lbs and Shorty was maybe 12. They were the odd couple for sure. Shorty was old and last year he passed in his sleep. When my husband went to get him Patty wouldn't let him near Shorty for awhile. She was devastated. For people who don't think dogs have feelings they should of seen poor Patty that day. Patty is in a large yard and had access to a basement with heating and air. Her buddy is Huffy..will write about him soon.
