Journal Entry: Thu May 15, 2008, 12:56 AM
And Ode to Patches the barn dog.

Sixteen years ago I came
Sold to Harvey by Shelby Frame

Beach Lake was a lovely place
to play with coyotes
to romp and race

In my younger days I chased the cats
and helped them catch
those nasty rats

The very best part that can't be beat
was the wonderful people
and there delicious treats

Thanks to all for the lovely care
for picking the ticks
and combing my hair

Thank you for waiting for me to move
in that way and others
you showed me your love

My owners decided when I couldn't arise
that I needed to "go"
I saw tears in there eyes

They petted and hugged me
said you been a good friend
i'm sorry old buddy
but this is the end

I looked up at them
to say one last good bye
they patted my head and started to cry

I hated to leave
but they have memories to keep
and I felt very tired
so I just went to sleep


-----------------------------------------------------
Today I set out for work at the barn. I brought as extra dog treat. His favorite. Soft so his old teeth can chew. I looked and looked with no success. That's when I learned of the fate of an old friend. To tired to move on, to weary to stand. I don't take death lightly. I don't mourn openly. But I worked through the day, and when I got home I ruined another pillow with my wet mascara. I knew it had to happen. He was sixteen. Which is unheard of for a wolf/Australian Shepard mix. I will miss him laying in the space under my locker. Being there when I open the car door. And being my fierce protector when we journeyed into the great unknown darkness of the hay barn.
My mother, sisters, and I have been going to Beach Lake Stables for 21 years
We have seen the horses come and go. Survived the rabies attack. And have met or have known all the BLS animals. Dogs, cats, horses, chickens, cows. But none were as special to me as Patches. Life long friend. Protector of the barn. Arch enemy of the coyote. And quietly friendly. I love him. The barn seems still. Faded and gray. These floors know your paws. This air knows your breath. I know your eyes.
And I miss them
