Arrival Story: Patch was thrown from the back of a pick up truck in front of where I work. He ran after the truck and disappeared. When I came back to work there he was, looking so sad. Covered in mange, very skinney and very scared. Most of the folks at work did not like him because he was a Pit Bull. I called my hubby and he came to pick him up. He took him home, bathed him and the next day it was off to the vets. He had to take meds for his mange for almost 6 weeks. We put bag balm on his poor little face, he was a mass of crusty skin an sores. He healed up and is now a beautiful boy and we love him. He was very abused in his old home. I suspect they tried to make him mean by hitting him but his nature is very sweet and he loves eveyone. We have four other dogs and he gets along great with eveyone. Patch is very special. this is our first Pit Bull so I had to do some research on this breed. They are not the monsters that the media depicts. The owners are the monsters like Michael Vick. Pits are very loving and like to be around people. Patch loves to snuggle and loves to play all the time. It was his lucky day when he got tossed. He is a great friend.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
I got another bath the other day, because I was really dirty. I went to the woods with dad and dug holes, ran thru the brush and played in the water. I was kinda brown colored. Sooooooo mom took one look at me as I was headed to jump on the bed for a snooze and said oh no you dont, you gonna get a bath! Yeeks bath,,,no likey bath, I remember last time, I dont like that sprayer thing.
But this time mom filled the tub with warm water and she got in there with me. It was way better. I got my special soap and I really enjoyed it this time. Mom kept telling me what a good boy I was. I got lots of treats too.
After I got toweled dried and felt sooooooo good. Then I got to get up on the bed feeling clean and smelling good. I guess baths are ok, but mom has to get in there to!
Today mom deceided to give me a bath using my new soap from the lady that trains me (haha but thats another story) When mom and dad first rescued me they bathed me alot because I was a stinkey dog (I had mange really bad and it makes you stink bad) Since I was new I let them bath me without a fuss, but I never really enjoy it.
Now I have been in my forever home now for 1 year and feel very good about myself also i dont stink anymore. Mom thought I looked hmmm what did she say ....oh I know dingy! What ever that is. So I watch he go get some really bit bath towels and get the room ready (that means putting the shower curtain up, toilet seat down and anything that could get wet up on the counter)
She calls me,,yeah like I am going to come, she calls again no Patch so she comes and picks me up and puts me in the tub. Ok so far. The she turns the shower hand thingy on. I am not liking this at all. Water on my body, its nice and warm but i just don't like it. I stiffen all my legs and try really hard to get out of the tub but mom had a good hold on me.
She turns the water off and starts rubbing my new soap on me. ohhhh I like this, it feels good and it smells good. Yesssssssss up a little on the left shoulder mom ok right there ! So she is done with the soap and the water comes back on. I give it a good heave ho and yipeee I am out of the tub!
Mom is trying to get me back in but I am too much for her so I hear this Vinnie!! Vinnie!! thats my dad, no Vinnie so now she calls again only really loud!! Finally he comes in and says this "what?" Mom looks at him with that look! Then Dad says what are you doing? Even I know at this point thats a dumb question. Big big sigh from mom. Mom says can you help me ....So Dad picks me up,,,heheheh I am a slippery little devil by now, and puts me back in the tub. He is holding me really tight and mom is rinsing me really fast.
OK now I am rinsed and ready to get dried. I notice that the dry towels that mom got me are now all wet. Thats cuz the water went everywhere when I jumped out of the tub. Remember that hand held sprayer nozzle? Well when I jumped out of the tub, the sprayer was on its own. Thats how the bathroom got all wet, and my dry towels got all wet and oh yeah mom and dad got all wet too! I thought is was really funny. Mom did not......So she gets me more dry towels and rubs me down..Oh now I am dry and smelling good and looking good. Mom and dad are all wet and look pretty funny. I bet it will be along time before they bath me again...teeeeheeee heeee
well today I finally made Mom happy, I played with a toy! She has been hovering over me trying to get me to play with all these stupid toys. Balls, stuffed furry things, you know. Anyway today she actually had one of those stuffed toys, the ones with the squeaker in them, in her mouth. She was pretending that this was the toy of all toys. I just looked at her and thought gee she looks kinda silly. But she laid out all these rope tug toys and I got curious. So me and Bella (thats my best doggie friend) started to play tug of war. Bella kept winning. Then i gave it a good tug and I got the rope. I was so happy. I seen Mom looking at me, so proud so of course I stopped playing. Me and Bella will play tug more but not when Moms looking...She is so nosey sometimes.
