Well, he has been with us now overnight and for the morning. He met Justin this morning and is doing wonderfully. I'll have to watch him just to help teach him to be calmer around the baby... but he has not shown any signs at all of any kind of aggression so we feel he is going to work out very nicely.

As for how we got him... I saw an ad yesterday for him... not free but so cheap he might as well be. Talked to the hubby about him.... weighed the pros and cons of trying to add another dog at this time.... and decided to give the lady a call. We talked for a while and last night I went down with Checkers to see how the two would get along. After about a 5 second introduction they immediately went to frapping throughout her house. You could just see the grin on both of their faces! By that time I had made the decision to try and bring him into our family. So far, no accidents... he ate all his food this morning... went potty outside, and has played his heart out with Checkers and Justin. Perfect! Oh... Choppers was the name they were calling him. We thought of modifying that to Chompers in honor of our University of Florida, Gators... but we have now decided to take that one step farther and call him Gator. The names Checkers and Chomper were just too close together, I was concerned they would not know as easily which one I was calling. So.... Gator it is! More pictures... and a quick frapping video to follow!
