So sorry to read of Pat's passing. I know how much she loved her dogs and I always enjoyed talking with her on the phone when making grooming appointments. She was always concerned about my health and was kind and sweet. I will miss talking with her. I am so sorry, Paul and my condolences to her entire family.
