So far, so good!

Josie is doing so well that I think we're going to move up her website debut by a few days. She's really not shown me anything that makes me think she'll be any different in a couple weeks. I also really want to take her to the Great Lakes Pet Expo and I'm hoping that a little advance publicity might be a good idea. Here's what I wrote for her bio:

Josie is brand new to the rescue. She was surrendered because her owner was moving and couldn't take her with. Josie is three years old, very sweet and very well-behaved. She's fully housetrained, crate-trained and gets along great with her foster Boxer brother and sister. A lot of people ask about her coat - it's called Brindle, which just means she is a solid fawn color with dark tiger stripes. Josie LOVES to cuddle with you on the couch while you watch TV but also loves to lay in front of the fireplace and chew on a bone or run around the house with a toy, playing keep-away with her foster sister. She's an active girl so the perfect family for her will need to give her lots of attention, exercise and things to do. She loves kids and other dogs but ... cats? Not so much. Needless to say, she is not the Josie from Josie and the Pussycats! Stop by the Green Acres Boxer Rescue Booth #228 to meet Josie and learn more about adopting her or the other Boxers in need!


She's been playing really well with Sasha:

Yes, this is how Boxers play

Sasha looks PSYCHO!

We call this Mouth-Wrestling

"Hey! Stay away from my butt!"

More mouth-wrestling and Sasha is in a nice play-bow! Good girls!

and when she gets tired of that, she'll go lay down next to George. She's eating well and not being much trouble at all! Her former owner said that she very rarely gave Josie people-food. Right. For "rarely" having people-food, she sure knows how to beg! Every time I sit down to eat, Josie is right there with her chin either resting on my leg or on the table (and breathing all over my food. Yum-o). If you're cooking in the kitchen, she is at your feet constantly, waiting for the Food Gods to shower her with steaks and bacon. It was kinda cute at first but it gets a little old when you're trying to walk to the sink with a pot full of pasta and she's constantly blocking your progress. I've started to try and teach her to go lay down in the other room while we're cooking. That's going to take awhile, I think. She's very cute and will probably get adopted pretty quickly so that will be something for her new home to work on. She is NOT a fan of the cold weather, though. It's currently -8 F outside (the wind chill is somewhere around -25/-30) so I can't really blame her for not wanting to go out there. Brrrr!
