Kath, and her husband Bob live in Western NY with their Cocker Spaniel, Emma, and 3 senior Cockers who they foster for CockerPals Rescue. Kath grew up sewing and put it aside for many years while her children were growing up and she was working full time, there just was not time to fit it into her busy life

Kath got involved with CockerPals in 2001, while looking for a cocker to adopt. She started out fostering and has found her love in fostering the senior cockers. Many senior Cocker Spaniels have lived out their last years with Kath and her husband since 2001 and each has left an impression. In August 2006 Lucy came to live with them. Lucy is 13 now, she was born with dwarfism and has some disablities. In wanting to make sure Lucy was warm enough in the winter, Kath dusted off her sewing machine and has made her several warm fleece coats. Then Bud came along and Kath made belly bands. Her husband, Bob, suggested after bath coats to keep the seniors from shivering when they get bathed.

The senior cockers who live with them get so much support from CockerPals. Kath wanted to find a way to show her appreciation so she offered to make Fleece Coats, Towel Coats, and Belly Bands for the Cocker Rescue online auctions and now has offered to have these items for sale in the Pals Mall.
