Dottie: Animals have always been an important part of
my life, but it took me a lot of living to realize just how
important they are to me. I've enjoyed several careers
in my life and have had the opportunity to live many
places. But now, I happily live in Beaverton (outside
Portland), Oregon with my family and our little
four-legged family: Higgins, a shih tzu; Harry Barker, a
pomeranian/pekingese mix; Casey, a rat terrier mix;
Maxine and Eliza Doolittle, our cats. We have had
many other four-legged family members as well, and I
have photos of many of them below.
I have been many things in my life, ranging from a court
reporter to a psychologist. My true love, however, has
always been art and animals; and I think my love of
animals is clearly evident in my current and best career,
painting.
And I feel I capture with my artwork the true nature of
animals: beautiful, lovable comedians!

was the model for many, many of my
ceramic dog masks.

Rose was very, very special. We adopted him from the
dog pound during Rose Festival, thus his name. Shortly
after coming to us, he developed an incurable
degenerative spinal condition, which left him progressively
more paralyzed. However, he lived nearly three years with
the use of his favorite wheelchair. He could do almost
anything the other dogs could do when he was in it. too.

Casey (1999-) Casey, a rat terrier mix, was adopted as a
pup that had been severely neglected and found nearly
dead in an abandoned crate. To this day, he allows us
almost no physical contact at all (and believe me, I've tried).
But he seems very happy and is a sweetie anyway.

* Molly, a bluetick coonhound, who was one of the most demanding - but lovable - dogs in my life.
*Brandy, an Irish setter that I shared 14 years of my life with.
*Blue, a huge, huge who knows what kind of dog who was one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever
seen. I loved her so much, and she died much too young, at around 4 years
*Sandy, a wonderful golden retriever, who lived a long, happy 12 years.
Labua, one of my two Rhodesian ridgebacks, who also lived a long happy life.
Tiger, my other Rhodesian ridgeback, that I had when I was a teenager.
And many, many more dogs, cats, horses, goats, rats (yes, rats make very good pets), and birds with
whom I have been able to share my life
