Memorial - Patience|
It Takes A Little Patience, UD, RAE So all I'll say here is that from the moment this sweet, pushy, beautiful, mischievous, outgoing, cuddly, lively, demanding, tolerant, smart, devious, occasionally obnoxious, never "patient", ALWAYS delightful lady came into my life until the moment she left it life was never dull!! And will never be quite the same again. She changed my life in so many ways, and I am so grateful to have known her. |

This was taken not too long after I adopted Patience - she was not quite two years old here. |
She got so gray later, that it's hard to believe her face was ever this black! |

 |
Here she is with Oliver, a sweet collie we had for many years. |
Patience loved everyone, and the feeling was mutual! |

Patience and Sara were the ring bearers in our wedding. We met because of the dogs, and they are still a major force in our lives so it made sense. |
Verjean took this beautiful picture at one of the Dallas club specialties. |

Here we're competing in obedience at the Great Dane Club of Greater Dallas specialty. It's a noisy environment to show in but it didn't bother Patience when she was retrieving! |
This is a blooper from a picture I was trying to take for a Christmas letter! |

Winning the Veteran's Obedience class at the 2004 Great Dane National Specialty. She was 10 years old, and the following year we earned 4 Rally obedience titles together. Just like with humans, staying active can help an older dog stay healthy - you just have to use some common sense. |

Good-bye my sweet girl, until we meet again. |
