One night I was designing a centerpiece for my parents 50th anniversary and had about 50 artificial flowers laid out in front of me. We heard a thumping noise coming up our basement stairs. Here comes Josie with a ribbon between his teeth which was tied around a bouquet of artificial flowers from our daughters bathroom. He brought them over to me and sat there. We were shocked with our mouths open. The picture above is the one I took when he brought those flowers to me so we would be reminded of that special moment forever, I thank God now that I did.
 I
decided to work with him and teach him some tricks. I would sit
on the floor each evening and shake each paw and give him a
treat after each time. After about a week of doing this shaking
a paw routine every night at 6:00 pm, he came over to me on the
couch and lifted his paw at me. He had figured it out!! From
then on he would lift his paw to us to tell us he wanted
something or when it was 6:00 - treat time, when he would shake
paw, give high five, reach for treats & guess which hand the
treat was in.

How
do I begin to describe this amazing boy? I received my
dear Josie as a Mothers Day gift from our daughter
GinaLee. We were remodeling our living room at the time
& the idea of taking care of a kitten during this mess
was not something we really wanted to do at the time. So
we figured that when our daughter came home from work we
would break the news to her and she could return him to
the pet store. Little did we know that in just a few
hours he would wiggle his little body into our hearts
and it was love, true, deep love, one that I never knew
existed with a pet. Now, I know that everyone believes
that their pet is the cutest, smartest, etc., but I know
that my boy WAS the one of smartest, and I must say, one
of the cutest, also. From day one we realized that
there was something about the way he would sit and look
at us while we talked to him.
