Hi Checkers!!

[Coondoglover]

Hi, Checkers! You have warmed my heart today, reading about your life. You are positively adorable and I can't fathom how you got that awful nickname of UD from that bad place where you came from. I'm glad you were rescued and are living out your days in a loving home where people appreciate you for the handsome boy you are! You have been through a lot and deserve all the love and affection you get. Congrats on DOTD! Enjoy your special day!

Hello Checkers,

You sure look like you're enjoying all that snow little buddy. My pups
love it too. I am so happy to hear how brave you were when you had the
back problems & I'm thrilled to learn you overcame that problem.Many thanks
to a great doctor & loving family. Happy congrats on being chosen for special
honors today as our DOG OF THE DAY. Hugs & kises going out to you baby.

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!
