In all the chaos and change we’ve experienced this year, Josie, our little best friend, has stuck by our side, watched over us at night, thrived at the end of the food chain in the new version of our family, and loved us all the while. She has had to crawl slowly from numero uno, along with Comet, down the ladder to the least among us. Now with four kids, she has suffered a lack of affection, and at times our short fuse has caught up with her and her canine antics. Josie is an amazing dog. We love her. She is still learning new tricks. Santa will be good to her this Christmas Season!
