Hi Checkers!!

[CheckersMom]

Hi, everyone. This is the first chance I had to check DOTD. What a pleasant surprise to see my baby's face looking back at me! Thanks for all your great comments. What a priviledge it is for Checkers to have been chosen today and I have given him special treats!

Chica, you and Checkies do have the same ears and face--what a beauty you are .

I forgot to mention in Checker's bio that his "nephew," Bailey, a Rat Terrier was DOTD December 7, 2005...here's his link: http://DogoftheDay.com/archive/2005/December/07.html . Bailey just loves Checkers, but Checkers is annoyed with him. Bailey's a great dog too!
