Luee

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.

MOMMY WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A


Good Morning Guys and Dolls:

Thursday is upon us again and as always I wish you all a pleasant good day. Today is “WHAT SHOULD I BE DAY.” To me it sounds like what would you like to be little guy or doll when you grow up? Hell I wanted to be everything and I’m sure most of you did too. Remember I was a wee lad in the 50’s and I’m going to list what I dreamt of being. Kids then wanted to be what they saw on TV, in comics and in their imagination so here is a list of Joey Z’s fantasy occupations:

Davy Crockett – until I saw how the movie ended and wanted to live longer than Davy did.


A Safari Hunter – that “Ramar of the Jungle Show” made me want to dream of this future position in the wild.


Pro Football Player – I loved playing football in the dirt and mud and putting on my helmet.


Pro Baseball Player – what boy never dreamed of this? I wanted to be a pitcher that could really smack the ball or the greatest second baseman ever; for some boys their wishes came true, mine flopped at the local dirt mound.


An Army Soldier – got enough of that stuff in the 60’s, I chose wisely and picked the Air Force longer life span in those days.


A Detective – I watched too many Dragnet shows with Joe Friday and 77 Sunset Strip.


A Captain of a Sailing Ship – got that idea after watching “I Sailed to Tahiti with an All-Girl Crew” a movie starring Gardner McKay.


And now for my true professional dream job as I got older are you ready? NO IT’S NOT A DOCTOR, LAWYER, INDIAN CHIEF OR A FIRE CHIEF BUT A “DENTIST”, YES A DENTIST. I was fascinated with all those tools and the job they do restoring teeth. As you can see there is no “DR. JOEY Z” posted in big letters on my blog. I can’t complain about the work I did in my life I enjoyed it all and I hope all you Speakies do too. So if your little ones come to you and say “Mommy, Daddy I want to be a circus clown or a ballerina” let them dream just encourage them to choose the right road in life to travel down and that’s being good. See you all soon.

Now son what did Dad tell you when you were a wee lad. Brush those teeth and as you got older go get a checkup. Keep those teeth in good shape. Thanks Son.
