Thanks to every one who posted a name for our new dog! We did the same thing on facebook and a friend on there came up with Joey. We decided to go with this name, because Brendan can easily say it and he says it so cute!

We took Joey to the vet the first week we had him. After getting checked over the vet concluded Joey is 3 years old. However, because we will never really know, the vet decided to go with at least 2 years. The vet also gave Joey a clean bill of health.

Shane was a little worried that Joey wouldn’t be easy to train. Our neighbor, who is quite taken with Joey, also made the statement that Joey would be difficult, if not impossible, to train (upon learning that we adopted him from the humane society). I have to be honest, I was a little offended! Joey has shown both of them though that he is very intelligent. Shane was able to teach him how to sit in one night. I was pretty impressed. Now they are working on down (not off).

I’ll try to remember to post some pictures of Joey and Brendan soon. Good night!
