HI EVERYONE I wish to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have visited either my PERSONAL FACE BOOK page, my BUSINESS FACE BOOK page, my website: www.seniorcareandsupport.com I would also like to draw you attention to a website that I built some years ago for a business I was in. www.runningboardrubbermats.com that I sold some years ago to take care of my wife who was suffering from dementia. ... Every picture of the running board mats found on the site are pictures of mats we reproduced. We reproduced over 500 sets of vintage auto and truck running board mats for customers worldwide, for a period of 7 years, Of the 500 mats we sent out only 2 came back for repair, because my business was built on superior quality control and customer service. I am presently starting up a new business selling and installing emergency water shut off systems for homeowners and property managers. The website address is: www.emergencywatershutoff.com As some of you are aware I am presently writing a book about my lifetime experiences. I have been posting them on my two FACE BOOK pages and some of them on the WHY ME page of my website. www.mentalillnesshelp.info Again, thank you for reading the information contained on my websites. It is my hope that you have found it helpful. Bye for now: Pat

CATS AND DOGS As I mentioned cats and dogs have always been part of my life as long as I can remember. Of all my possessions, the thing that I cherish is the unconditional love of my pets. At the moment, I have three, Danny, who was my wife Shirley’s cat. She picked him out of a small litter of rescue kittens. We gave away the rest.... Then there is Hunter, my mouser, and stunt cat. She was also a rescue cut. She lived two doors south of us, and was given to some people 30 miles away. She came to our house and wanted my son to adopt her. She has been here ever since. I have yet to find a live mouse on my property since she arrived. Buddy was the last to arrive. My son always wanted a dog. He picked Buddy out of a litter of purebred Bichon Shih Tzu puppies that were selling for between $500 to $600, but the seller thought that Buddy would only bring $100, because he was not perfect, but Buddy has become a perfect therapy dog, as everywhere he goes he just melts people’s hearts . As I woke up this morning, I discovered all three in my bedroom. No matter where I go on my property they will follow me. As I take Buddy for a walk, Danny and Hunter will tag along. Danny tagging along behind. Hunter, running ahead and climbing a tree, then running down the tree, hiding in the tall grass and zipping by us, then hiding in the tall grass waiting for a mouse to show up, then zip by us again. I have temporarily adopted Meemie, and Whittie until I can find a permanent home for them. They belonged to a lady with Alzheimer’s disease that could no longer look after them. I have often said, animals are for more civilized than humans. Humans kill and often treat other humans with no respect, but animals simply kill to survive, yet we humans are supposed to be the civilized beings, whom God created. I think we humans have let God down, when he gave us a prefrontal cortex, a memory bank, and free will.

BUDDY OUR SELF - TRAINED THERAPY DOG When we purchased Buddy has about the size of a large mouse. We were afraid we would lose him because he was always hiding from us. He is a black and white Bichon Shih Tzu. By nature they have a perfect temperament to be a therapy dog. Even people that don’t appear to like dogs, love Buddy. He just loves people, and people just love him. ... When my late wife Shirley, was in the hospital getting over her last nervous breakdown, I would take Buddy to see her. It was a sight to see when Shirley would decide to go for a trip around the hospital. Shirley would sit in her transport chair holding on to Buddy’s leash, and he would pull her all over the hospital. A lady that was in the senior lodge with us, ended up in the hospital the same time as Shirley, and the lady fell in love with Buddy. I would take him to see her every day, when she was in the hospital. I would put him on the bed and she would cuddle and squeeze him. I suspect one of the last things she remembers before she passed away was Buddy coming to see her.. He has visited several senior care lodges where he takes a particular interest in cheering up the Alzheimer’s residents.

POOCH Dogs and cats have been part of my life since I can remember. Dad had a border collie named pooch. Border collie’s are fantastic cattle dogs. They love to herd, and replace two men when driving a herd of cattle. Pooch was the best cattle dog I have ever met. ... She understood and obeyed every command. Pooch was my companion and loyal friend. One one occasion, Pooch went with me to see Otto and Wilmurt. They lived on the farm across the road from our farm, and I spent countless hours listening to Wilf Carter records on an old windup record player at their place. I did not know it at the time, but there was an uncle of theirs who lived on the farm, and hated dogs. In his total ignorance, he tied a tin can to Pooch’s tail. It was known as canning the dog. The most likely result was that the dog would run themselves to death. Pooch had sense enough to run straight home. When dad discovered what had happened he went to see the uncle, and began beating him up. The uncle picked up an axe to hit dad. Dad took the axe away from him, and left. The uncle sued dad for assault and battery, and would have won except for the fact the he had picked up the axe to attack dad. The judge dropped the cause against dad. That was the first time I remember dad going to court. Pooch was with us for many years until she died peacefully of old age. Her memory will always remain in my heart.
