I'm Patty from Alabama.

I was very skinny girl when I came here 6/21/2009.

My people abandoned me and I got left at a shelter.

I'm very happy to be here now.

I'm very quiet girl. I have a big heart murmur, so maybe that's why I don't run and play like the others.

I like to sit under Mom's desk when she's on the computer.

And I love my mom...

Even when she makes me look like a banana.

Can you imagine having to wear one of these things?

Hello?  You still there?

I also have to try on hats.

This one's a little frumpy, don't you think?

Not sure about this one.

Actually, I think I  like it.

But this is what I'd much rather be doing.

It's a good life.
