I had really planned to name my Yorkie Zoe, I love that name, but the breeder I selected only had two boys. She was by far the best place I found and if I got a dog, I wanted it to be one of hers.
While pondering the decision, of dog ownership, a movie with Frank Sinatra called Pal Joey came on. In the movie, he buys a little dog for Kim Kovak I've always loved Sinatra, and this was my epiphany. I'd get a dog and name him Joey (rhymes with Zoe) .
When I found out that Joey was born on my deceased father's birth, I knew he was the one for me. When telling the breeder the name I selected, she said that was her husband and son's name. Chills went up my spine. Getting Joey was the best decision I ever made.
