On a Thur, in 1999, Joe and I drove to Redford, MI to see a puppy he found in the paper. Joe bought the dog againt my advice. He paiding $500.00 for her. Stopped on the way home and spent $50.00 for food, a bowl, and a toy. On the way home, I asked him "how many children he had"? "How many nights he had set up with them"? His answer was 5 children, to setting up at night, "NEVER that's what my woman is for". He had to work on Fri. so he left the puppy with me, she sleep with my dog and didn't cry. Hershell fell in love with her, and tryed to buy her from him. On his way home from work on Fri. he came by, picking up the pup (he had named Harley) and her things. Knowing he had to work on Sat, we talked and I told him the dog was going to cry all night, told him if he sleep with her she'ed be alright and not cry, his answer was"NO DOG IS SLEEPING WITH ME". Hershell had told him on Thur if he decided not to keep the dog he wanted her. On Sat, morning around 9 AM, my phone rang, it was Joe he wanted Hershell, Hersh had gone somewhere, he then told me to come and get the damn dog before he killed her. I told him he better not hurt her, got dressed and went to his house. Our sister was setting in a chair holding the puppy.Joe was running around with a spray bottle and cleaning rag, in one hand, and a bucket of water in the other. The dog had cryed allnight, he hadn't sleep at all, when he let her out of the cage, he decided to clearing the cage, before taking her outside. She went into the livingroom and shit everywhere. That's when he decided to get rid of her. He said " This damn dog has cost me $3000.00 dollars. All the cost for her and the lose of double time pay for working on Sat, plus carpet cleaning and a nights sleep. I laughted at him gathered up the dog and her things and came home. He called every 1/2 hour wanting to talk with Hershell (he wanted the money back that he paid for her, he knew Hersh would give it to him, I wouldn't, I had told him not to buy her, and I really didn't want another dog). Hershell gave him back the $500.00 he had paid for her. That's how i ended up with Peanutt. Joe couldn't get over the love he had for our dogs, both Min Pins, one Red (Taz) one Black and Tan  (Peanutt). He still wanted a pet.

In 1961 when he set my chair on fire! I was setting in a chair in the living room. folding diapers, he got hold of my ligher, got behind the chair and lit the back of it on fire.

The time he walked out the front door and started down the front walk, a bird flu over and pooped, it landing on his head.

When he was little he was covered with freckles. How mad he would get when his brother in law Clyde would tease him about them, saying "if I had a penny for every freckle U have I'ed be a richman".

When his first grade teacher came to the house, he answered the door, slamed it in her face. Saying to his us, " there was no one there", as Mom pushed him aside and answered the door.
