Josie is Still Here With Us to Celebrate the 4th of July

  
   Happy roarth of Kaijuly! Sorry, I have been watching Godzilla movies all weekend. The El Rey network finds all sorts of reasons to show Godzilla movies. They have Godzillathons for Independence day, Halloween, and December holidays. It is a good time to be a nerd. I have been celebrating in other ways too. I marched in a parade for my soccer club. The conditions weren't the best though. It was raining off and on. I juggled and dribbled the entire way. I was having a good time but I didn't look like it. Several people told me I looked like I wasn't enjoying myself. I was just focusing on the ball with a frown. I think I broke my juggling record once or twice. Too bad no one videotaped it, so no official record.There were several occasions where I managed to juggle great distances.
    Have you ever seen "Castaway"? I have my own Wilson.  I decided to take my reliable two year old ball, Bessie to the parade. Bessie has been through a lot, her cover has started to come off in a few places. After today, Bessie is soaked but she didn't let me down. In a couple of weeks she will be going to the IU soccer camp again.
   I had a soccer filled week recently. I traveled with the Olympic Development Program to Dayton, Ohio. It was fun competing at a high level of play and being with my teammates. We didn't have the best record, in fact we finished last but we were more skilled. We were the smallest team there. It was a good experience. 

   I don't understand why no one has adopted Josie. We have had her for about two months and only a couple of people have expressed their interests in her. All of those people have adopted another dog. Josie has many redeeming qualities. She LOVES being around people. She enjoys resting or running with us. She can be goofy. She chases her own tail. She also runs away from us or chases us around a table (depending on your view). She also has a thick skull. She runs into many things and I have accidentally kneed her a few times. She just keeps moving. She listens really well, too. Please check her out at Northern Lights Sled Dog Rescue.
    I hope everyone had a dry Fourth of July, unlike Indiana. I hope your dogs were sheltered from the fireworks. Hoover and Josie were ready to seek safety when they heard a boom. We're not sure Lizzie can hear them. Happy Independence Day!
