Josie Tricks

We got Josie when she was a puppy in August '97. Jennifer spent a lot of time with Josie out in the garage teaching her different tricks. She had lots of patience to do that, because since Josie is part golden retriever AND lab, she is quite a ditz. Even though Josie will be 9 this year, she still remembers how to do all her tricks! I went out to play with her one of the days I was home, and gave her treats for doing all her tricks. I took a picture of afew of them. The first one she is playing dead - she does a very good job of "falling" down and holding still, but she's always too excited to close her eyes. the next picture she's sitting and staying of course ;) Then she is doing the trick that Chance does on Homeward Bound II when the semi almost runs over him (that used to be one of our favorite movies, so we were all excited when Jenn taught Josie that one ;). These pictures on the bottom she is rolling over, and she looked so cute when she was all done cause she had snow all over her face :)
