Getting to know you...
So we are postponing the debut of the movie until tomorrow, because Tanner wants to share it on Tanner Tuesday.
I have had some questions about how old I am lately, and how old the Doofus is. I realized we have a lot of new readers out there who may not be so familiar with our story. I would like to take this opportunity to address all the new friends and maybe some with failing memories. :)
I am 9 years old and as you can see in the pic above, I am very handsome. I will be 10 in March. For the longest time my parents were unsure of my exact birthdate so I celebrated March 6th-9th as "Joey-Palooza". Four days of non-stop birthday excitement. Just a few month's ago they found my puppy paperwork (it was buried at my Dad's parent's house in a sea of papers) and saw that I was born on March 6th. However, as Joey-Palooza is a much loved holiday, we will continue to celebrate it.
I was an only dog, loving life and enjoying being the center of attention, until August 29th 2005. That is when we got Tanner.
That is one of the first pictures of us together.
Tanner came from a pound in Ohio. My Dad's aunt does a lot of work for them and she called one day and was all, OMDOG there is this cute Boston here do you want him? My parents said YES. Can you freakin believe it? If I could turn back time I would have ate the phone. all the phones. the phone line. the telephone pole. ANYTHING. But he is here now so I just have to deal with him, I guess. He is 4 years old (maybe 3, his intake papers have different dates) but he acts like he is 4 months. His nickname is The Doofus Face.
If you do not know why...watch this video:
Doofus Face from Rhonda on Vimeo.
Our nice aunt Patty drove the doofus all the way to AZ (which is where we live) from Ohio. What a nice aunt. I guess. ahem.
We are very easy to tell apart. I am the handsome one and he is the Doofus. He is also fat. BUT if you still have a problem, he has a dot on his head. The Doofus Dot.
Well, I hope this was informative and that all the new and old readers out there feel like they know us a little better!

Dearest Tanner, This is Kendra. Lillie's oldest and favorite human sister. I have been informed that your 5th "birfday" is coming up. Well guess what, my own 15th birfday is also coming up in exactly 20 days. So I think we should celebrate together. Wouldn't that be fun! Say hello to Joey for me. Your Human Friend

Excellent! I feel like I've read joeypedia. My birthday is at the end of February, maybe we could stretch it out into a two week cross-country celebration!
You're looking damn fine for a 9 year old, Joey!
Your pal,
Petey
OK, now I know about the Doofus Dot it will be much easier .... It took me a while to find the dot in the first picture of you two together! ;-)
Cheers
Charlie
wow you sure were lovin the doof when he first came to visit...so what changed joe...what changed
Mom says THANK YOU (she feels embarassed & like this post should be addressed to "The other doofus, Bobo's mom") :( Hahaha
We think we remember seeing an older post where you circled Tanner's spot and said "actual brain size" or something. That always makes us laugh.
P.S. I ate half a Frosty Paw and then barfed when Mom was eating dinner. She kept saying "Oh sheeeet, sheeeet." What the heck does that mean? (hehehe)
it looks like since the 1st day... u had shown tanner who's the household boss
I feel your pain, Joey. I cried when you talked about that fateful phone call. Too bad you didn't eat the phone. Then I laughed at the Doofus faces. Then I cried some more remembering when Arrow (my own personal Doofus) moved into MY house.

That's a lot of Doofusism!

What a shock it must have been when Doofus arrived... and then he STAYED! At least you have somebody to blame things on. Plus you guys have the same dental configuration so who can ever tell for sure whether it was you or the Doofus?
Slobbers,
Mango
P.S. I think my stain was about as big as your entire self.
Tanner is such a hot sketch! We can't believe he entered YOUR house and preceeded to hump you! We're glad you taught him a few manners, Joey!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Hehehe, that slideshow of Tanner photos was funny! Thanks for the warning though cos I MIGHT be tempted to try pulling some of those faces! J x
Ahhaaa the doofus dot, thanks for the tip Joey.
What is Joey Palooza???

We used to have to use the doofus dot to tell you guys apart. Now we don't have to and can tell your handsomeness apart from the doofus without it.
What a great & informative post, Joe!
But I still don't think Tanner is fat....since I weigh more than him.....
Joe,
Nice to meet you! I enjoyed reading your story and seeing the pictures of Doofus Face, ahem... Tanner. He sure likes to stick his tongue out for the camera! Stop by and give me a bark some time!
Pedro
My mom said to tell you she's got that "Getting to Know You" song stuck in her head now. Apparently when she was a biped puppy, she was forced against her will to watch musicals. Now a mere line from one sends her into some bizarre ear-worm thing. Go figure.
Tail wags,
Storms
Joey! You are obviously the handsome one. That's why I love you.

SB
That photo is funny!! Poor Joey, you really are long suffering.

BOL! That doofus make more silly faces than me, and that's saying something!

I always look for the Dots in the picture, though it is usually not hard to tell you apart. Handsome one, Doofus one. Same in our house (handsome vs. not-handsome distinction), though my ma ape now has difficulties with the shepherds who both have doofus tendencies.
wally t.
P.S. That is exactly how I, um, broke my baby brudder in. It's good to be welcoming.
Hi, Joey...
Such a wonderful story...We could never hear it too many times...
We love you guys...
Abby xxxooo
We knew this story but we still read it and it really make us laugh so hard.
Joey & Tanner, you guys are the bestest. Never fail to put a smile on our face.
Love
Boy n Baby
Thanks for the reminder! I'm am very happy to know that Joey Palooza will still continue! I've been worried and didn't want to bring it up in case it was still a sensitive subject.
