Happy birthday
My son, Jeremy, turns 33 years old today. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday and only hope he continues to grow and mature as he has done the past several years. Jeremy was raised very much like I was. We had critters from the time he can remember. Several of them had a huge impact on his life. His first pet was a huge white cat he named Fluffy and she was. He also had some goldfish which didn't make the trip to Anna Maria Island. Although we tried to transport them, they did not survive.
In his early years, we had Jinx, then Jasper. When Jinx died we got Jessie. When Jasper died, Junior came home with us. Our "J" dogs were all Rottweilers and Jeremy loved those dogs and they loved him. I believe any of them would have sacrificed themselves to save him. He cried when each of them died, even though he was a teenager and young man.
He was then around some of the time with Carmella, Gypsy and now Buzz. He has two dogs of his own, McKenzie and Hazel, but both are small and came with his girlfriend and he would love to get another big dog.
When he was 14 and staying with me on the other coast during a business trip, he wheeled a heron with a hurt leg on his skateboard into the lobby of a snazzy hotel and demanded they call a bird rescue for the heron. Later on in the week, he was a one man policeman, patrolling the beach for sea turtles and keeping the tourists away when they hatched. He observed a sea turtle coming out of the water to lay eggs for the first time that summer.
So to my adorable son on your 33rd birthday: Have a great one Jeremy! You have grown into a wonderful man.
