New blog....let me introduce you to some of my family.....


Nothing like having your photo taken while you're laying on the couch with the drapes wrapped around you. Huh?

Allow me to introduce you to my boy Beezer....if this were a personal column, I'd say....he's around 9 1/2 yrs old, starting to gray about the face, suffering the heartbreak of fatty tumors....his likes are: short walks (those arthritic hips aren't what they used to be), snacks (Jumbones are my favorite), sleeping on the sofa (especially with my head in my Dad's lap) & greeting people with a stuffed toy in my mouth. No, really. Dislikes: going out into the backyard (I like the front yard a LOT more), the same old thing for dinner & having my wrestling match with either Dad or my brother Midnight interrupted by that girl dog Jazz! Grrrr!
So, ya know...if you know any half Lab-half Golden Retriever females that are 7+ years old that are looking for a good time....give my man a call. I was first introduced to Beezer back in the summer of '99, when I began dating my wife Kim. Beezer has a pretty good life story. He originally belonged to Kim's sister-in-law, and apparently one day Kim gets a call from the local police department. It seems that Beezer had been picked up on the equivalent of a lewd & lasivicous conduct charge with another dog in the neighborhood (for shame!) and since his owners couldn't be located, they had Kim as a contact number. After that brush with the law, his owners....um.....disowned him and Kim took him in. So when Kim and I began to date, here comes this approximately 100 lb dog bouncing up to me and I'm told his name is Beezer---you know, after the hockey goalie. Talk about karma. So we pretty much immediately established a bond with one another. I wasn't sure if Kim and I were longterm...but I was positive that Beezer and I were. He pretty much is called "Beezer" now only when he's in trouble....naturally his name has evolved into nicknames and his is "Beedly". He really is, as I call him....my "sweet prince". He's just about the sweetest dog I've ever known....wouldn't hurt a fly even if he could. He's our oldest dog....and the years show on his face and in his movements these days, but he holds a special place in my heart. When I was seperated from my ex-wife (#2 smarty!), I also left our dog Misty...and truthfully I missed her terribly. When I met Kim and she introduced me to Beezer....he took hold of my heart just as much as Kim and her two kids did. I sure do love my Beedly.

Later,
Jeff
