I am sorry, but I am sitting here laughing, I know it is scarry. But
it reminded me of Trucker Teddy, he used to do that and scare Jeff to
death. One day, he even resorted to giving Trucker mouth to mouth, and
Trucker came up slowly giving the Dad all sorts of kisses. It was such
a hoot, I couldnt help laughing at your Zoe. Jeff was ready to throttle
Trucker but he was so happy to see him awake but it was a horrible
scare.
