Let's get this party started!!

Well, the day has come that Mom promised, and she asked me to kick off this blog with the very first post!  I am SO honored!  Roxie and I have been talking about it, and we have some great ideas - mostly antics that we're going to be part of and things that are fun to us, so we think this will be fun and hope that you like it, too!

To start off with, I'll introduce myself to anyone who is new or doesn't know my story and say that my name is Josie! My mom's niece, Grace, and a friend found me on October 13 of last year on the side of the road.  Grace's mom wouldn't let me stay there since they have other animals, and Grace's friend's mom wouldn't let me stay there either (!!), so good ol' 'Aunt Dianne' (aka Mom) came to the rescue - literally!  This is a picture of me the night I met Mom. As you can see, I felt at home right away!

Mom was only going to keep me for a few days until they (Grace and her friend) could take me to Petsmart over the weekend to be adopted, but I got sick the first few days she had me. Being the good mom she is, she took me to the emergency vet and spent almost $200 to find out I had a fever and an abscess on the lower part of my jaw. Long story short, she took me to her regular vet on Monday and spent another $123. I think she didn't say anything to me because she didn't want to hurt my feelings, but I overheard her telling someone that after she spent that much on me before I'd even been with her a week, I certainly wasn't going anywhere! I was really glad to hear her say that, because I like it here. I feel safe and protected, she has lots of toys, and she kinda let me rule the roost - for a little while anyway - but that's a story for another day! Here's a picture of Mom and me the first day she called me a 'keeper.' I may not look too much like it here, but I was really happy, and obviously, Mom was, too!

Well, this typing thing is kinda hard since I don't have any thumbs, so I'll wrap it up for now, but we'll post again soon.  I may let Roxie post next, but we'll see!
