Get to Know Joe

Joe is cute! Everyone thinks so, even the Charter guy said so. My daughter, Pheenix, says Joe's human look-alike is Vince Vaughn. I love it! We have many nicknames for Joe too..."Joey," Joe Joe," "Joeg," "Yogi," "Stinkers," "Little Stinkers," "Yo-Yo" and his rap name, "Yo-Master-Yo." He will respond to all those names too, does anyone else have nicknames for their dogs?
Kickin' It "Yo-Master-Yo" Style

Joe is also an adventurer! I believe that when we are on our walks he is in his own little world. Some days he's an English Cocker Spaniel flushing all the quail from their hideouts for his quail hunting person, other days he's a Rat Terrier shoving his nose into any hole in the ground, then there's the days he's an explorer poking his head into every Rabbit Brush bush and nook & cranny of rocks looking for gold.

Joe is ruled ultimately by his stomach. This Corgi can find food anywhere...he will sniff it out and start gulping within seconds of retrieving what he considers a delicious morsel. It could actually be appropriate food stuffs or very likely inappropriate "food" stuffs. Whatever, Joe loves to eat! He likes to eat so much that he's been on a diet all year. Last year the vet said Joe needed to be under 40 pounds. This means he eats diet food and not very much of it. This also means he has to walk everyday, eat diet snacks or whole grain Goldfish and has a special Martha Stewart doggie bowl that has challenging objects in it so he eats slower...yeah right.
