PAT AND MIKE

Pat and Mike are both retired and look all the time for creative things to do.  The Backyard Buddies book idea came from seeing all the animals and insects that live in their own backyard and their precious dog Hobo.  Prior to retirement Mike co- authored a management book – “On the Level” for his company which was distributed to all the 265 companies in the insurance mutual. Pat is a natural animal lover with the responsibility of looking after six (6) ferial cats that live on the deck and the 54 Koi in our pond.
