Luee
We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

Joe Piscopo was a DJ in Trenton
in the 70s :)
Mack never knew that, the last time I saw him on TV was on a Star Trek where he played a comedian.
I LOVED Piscopo's imitation
of Sinatra. and luckily for him,
so did Frank:)
I forgot about Sinatra,he did it great.
