Although we introduced you to Joe Friday a few years ago, others have just recently discovered his unique charm. Such is the case with T.J. Malbouef.

Mr. Malbouef began emailing me on Aug 13th. I was pleasantly surprised by his messages.

Here's a few excerpts from his emails:

"Hello Scribbles! Hello Mr. Leavoy,

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe Friday in person (?), along with his owner [in early August.] I was in Port Dalhousie attending the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, along with my wife, as our son was competing with the Detroit Boat Club Crew....I take photos for his team. 

While awaiting the next event, I took a walk in the nearby park ...There is where I met Joe Friday.

Mr. Steel, and Joe, allowed me to photograph them, as I was intrigued by Joe and his silver bowl. Mr. Steel demonstrated their ‘frisbee’ game. I discovered Scribbles via an internet search for “Joe, bulldog, Port Dalhousie”.

I couldn’t even remember the “Joe Friday” hook. I knew it was a well known name that he was introduced by, but all my mind could come up with was “Joe Boxer”. Close, but no cigar. By using those search clues, Scribbles came to me.

I chuckled, when I saw how famous Joe Friday was, and reading through some of the photo captions.

Please find attached my photos from my time meeting Joe Friday and Jim Steel....Please pass them along to Mr. Steel, if possible, with my best wishes. If you find they are acceptable for "Scribbles", by all means, please feel free to use them!"

When I first told Joe Friday's dad Jim about T.J.'s emails, he was thrilled and he loved the photos Mr. Malbouef had taken.

I told T.J. that I would include his photos and story on Scribbles and I also kept him in the loop when life delayed those pix from getting published. 

I'm always happy when Scribbles makes a new connection and to my knowledge, T.J. Malbouef is our first Scribbles follower that resides in Detroit (making his Scribbles debut even more unique and exciting)

Welcome T.J. I hope you enjoy seeing your photography on Scribbles and invite you to feel free to forward other pictures you think our friends would enjoy.
