More about me

I have taught Sunday School to children 4-6 years old for the past 34 years.  I went to clown school 4 years ago and am now a professional clown.  This year the economy is not so good in Mich so clown jobs are scarce but I hope in the future it will get better. I would like to do clowning for the elderly, and special needs children.  I volunteer with local animal rescue groups and volunteer at the local city animal shelter.  I have adopted 2 kitty's, one is Little Rickie (in the picture) a 3 year old Maine Coon mix who suffers from inflammatory bowel disease but is doing much better. The other is a sweet, timid, little gray tabby named Bonnie.  1.1/2 years ago my vet said the best diet for Rickie is a raw food diet so through much research and joining a Yahoo group on feline raw feeding I have now transitioned both on to 60% canned grain free and 40% raw food.  Both are doing well and Rickie is off all meds and has not seen the vet in 1-1/2 years except for a well visit in June.  I also have two 15 year old Cockatiels who share my home and my life. Two years ago I adopted a kitten for my sister for her birthday - that is Gitche.

Update - Just wanted to share two great things with you about my two beautiful kits.  They saw the vet on 6/08 and Rickie is doing wonderful and she is very pleased.  He has no inflammation whatsoever in his abdomen and he has gone from 10.2Lbs to 13.3Lbs in 1-1/2 years.  Bonnie is doing well but had to have a broken tooth pulled and a dental cleaning but came through it perfect.  She is such a sweet little girl kit - so timid and so loving.   *Both of my sweet kits have visited in nursing homes. I was absolutely amazed and touched.  Bonnie did great.  Of course, she does not walk on a leash like Rickie but I carried her around and the residents loved her and petted and talked to her.  One lady, who is blind in one eye, asked me her name while she was petting and loving on her.  When I told her "Bonnie" she was thoughtful at first and then started singing the song "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean".  The other two residents sitting at her table sang with her and I joined in.  I was so emotionally touched to see the joy my dear sweet Bonnie brought to these ladies that day and the others that petted her and loved on her.  This gave them the opportunity to pet a small animal and this, as you know, brings comfort to those people and this also gave them the opportunity to talk to me about their pets they had in the past.  I am anxious to take her back again.  It was sweet that every time I would walk past that table taking Bonnie to visit others one of the ladies sitting there watching us would say out loud "Therrrre goes BONNNEEE"  It was so sweet and absolutely a delightful day. 

Little Rickie is so good but he is not much of a lap sitter but is a visitor, like his head scratched and then move on to the next person.  He is not fearful with anything except loud noise.  My two kits bring such joy to my life.
