<div>Okay Joey, let momma explain it. Apparently well I was gone at my training program (I'm learning how to train dogs at our local shelter, so every week I get to go be dragged around by a big Am. Staff), and when I got home, dad regaled me with Joey's adventures. Apparently he sat on Checkers, like full out climbed over him, and splatted him!! Dad said Checkers was funny, he was making crazy noises (not "I can't breathe, help!" noises, more like "who parked this dump truck on me?! Get it off" grumbles and such). Checkers has indeed been giving Joey more space, but we figure that'll only keep up for another few days. No brains in Checkers!</div>

<div>Also, mom said that my cousins little one was there, and everytime he screamed or started crying, Joey went running over to him, and had to lick his face. Apparently the kid was a bit confussed as to why a big dog came running to him and licking his face, but it stopped him from crying! He's not around kids all the time, but every time he has been he's been good. (Even mom admitted, he stole a cookie from my little cousin, but he did it gently, and never chewed on the kid in the process). He's been poked in the eye, had ears & tail pulled, at a festival once he had his tail rolled over by a stroller, none of it has ever phased him. I'll never understand why his previous family gave him up when they had a baby, saying he was "too much trouble." He's a big, clumbsy oaf, but other than that, he is so sweet with the little ones!<br>
