Patrick joined the Easton household in March 15 1996 (Saint Patrick's weekend, hence his name.) He was a very scared puppy, who had never lived in a house. He came to be very spoiled and very much loved couch potato. One thing he did early on was put one dainty paw in the bathroom - no carpet. Never put one paw in there again. He went to all the Basset Blasts from the beginning. He loved to howl and it did not take much for hime to sound off. He was a crown King of the Bassets in May 2002. But don't think he was very impressed. He was loved very much and is also missed very much.
