Many years later, Jellybean entered her life, and together, they had a good amount of success participating in the American Kennel Club’s activities of dog shows and obedience trials. Jelly also did a good deal of ad and commercial work. Later, agility was an additional dog-and-owner sport performed with an Irish terrier, Tootsie Rose, and another wire fox, Buddy. Both of these dogs competed extremely well.
Eva enjoys dogs still, but at a more leisurely pace. Other interests include gardening, writing, and singing Italian arias. She and her husband, David, have traveled from Tasmania to Alaska and greatly enjoy visiting the United Kingdom at least once every year. At home now in South Carolina, the Pattons have two Australian shepherds (go figure) and Harry, an Irish terrier.view less
