It is with a very Heavy Heart that I must write and tell you of the loss of The Country Bumpkins monarch. St Paddie Day Suprize was born March 17, 1997. I had fallen in love with his dam and sire. I asked the breeder to do a breeding so that I could have that wonderful temperament combined. Paddie was a seed in my Heart for three years. And Then on March 17, 1997 my wish was fulfilled. I picked Paddie up for the first time when he was 3 hours old. It was love at first sight. I went every day to see him and hold him till the day he got to come home. It was then a new bond of Love was formed from the heart of both of us. Paddie at 4 months old won Ol Roy Dog of the year in Levelland Texas. At 6 months he went to his first dog show and won 1rst point towards his championship. I knew my dreams of having that wonderful show dog would be filled by him. He went to his second show and got 1rst place. After that he had to stop showing. He had long hair. The Breeder offer to give me another pup but I was hooked on my Paddie. Paddie went every where with me. Then when he turned a year old he just disappeared. I was crushed we looked all over for him, Charlie and I grieved so bad for our little guy being lost. Well I happen to put his picture at the vets office 35 miles away. They had Paddie, I went to go see and he came running at me and knocked me on the floor. I cried and I cried. He was home and this is where he would stay.
Paddie was not a Show dog, he was not a Show Ch. that he in his own way left allot of Paw prints on others peoples heart. He in his own way made a legacy that will carry on for always.
Paddie was My heart and soul dog, he was there for me when I had a massive heart attack in Feb of 2007 he stayed by my side. When I left the house to go to the hospital I am sure he must of though he would never see me again. But when I got home I was one that was very blessed for I got to see in the eyes of my friend the Love he held for me, it sent shivers down my spine. I was Bless I have the true love of a 70 pound basset hound named Paddie.
Paddie suddenly passed away in his sleep last night, He was 11 years old. I know my time was getting short but not this short. I had made plans with a girl to take our picture this fall.
It is a very sad place for us today, The Bumpkins are howling, I cannot stop crying and I feel as if my heart has once again left my body.
Paddie is buried beside Abbie as we know that is where he would have wanted to be as they are Mother and Father to Lilly and Trapper.
Charlie says I can get another Basset pup I don't know maybe in time. Right now would not be good for me cause I know in my heart I would want it to be like my Paddie and that is not fair to a pup.
Please Hold us all in your prayers as we walk though this very sad time in our life.
