People always ask me – “Have you done this all your life”? It didn’t make any difference what stage of life I was at, it is always the same question. If you are wondering, “Have I Done This All My Life”, I will tell you if you have a little time. I have tried many endeavors during my seventy five years of life, as most people have. My interests have usually been in the arts, so they show more openly than other peoples hobbies and passions. People always tell me how talented I am. I thank them and remind them that we all have talents. It’s just that most people don’t display their passions through art, poetry and music. They are just as gifted, but in less visible areas. So never feel intimated by another’s

Pat’s Cats That Have Passed On

Daisy  2002 – 2018

Pat's Cats 1

Mr. Spots was very lonely in 2002 when Squirt passed away. So I choose Daisy, from the shelter, to be his friend.  She is a very friendly little girl and seems to enjoy not only Mr. Spots – but all 12 dogs. She is always in the dogs fenced area visiting with them!

2005 – 2015 Mommy Cat

Pat's Cats 2

Mommy Cat was Twinkie’s Mom. We fostered her and her 3 kittens in August of 2005.  Two of her kittens found new homes and Twinkie found a home at Rainbow Bridge. She loves our other cats and our dogs.  She is a great hunter!

People always ask me, what I do and why I do it. So I have created a couple pages about my life, interests, accordion music and my pets.

Pat's Accordion Music

I played in big bands, concert bands and orchestras most of my life. I played alto saxophone, clarinet and flute. I also loved accordion since I grew up in Cleveland and often heard polka bands. I took my first lesson in 1951 – many years ago! My ex and I had a duo we called “The Good Time Two.” We played dances, lounges and often outdoors.

Since half of the Good Time Two is gone, I play by myself. I played an electronic accordion with many organ sounds and orchestra sounds in the old days. It weighed 29 pounds and at 75, I am not able to

The Joy is Ours Dogs share our lives make it complete keep us company lay at our feet. Entertain us give us joy think life is great with each new toy.

Pat's Dogs 17

Peanut showed up at my gate on Nov. 20, 2012. He was trying to get in the gate with the Digger Brothers. He had been attacked and had puncture wounds, fleas in his eyes, infection of his rear end, long nails and starved at only 9 pounds. It took 7 days at the vets and surgery to pull him thru.

Bingo was my neighbors dog. She was also my dog sitter. She was very, very sick. I took her dog to take care of him until she got better. Unfortunately, she moved in with her daughter and could no longer keep him. So he has become the guardian of my gang.
